How to solve PermissionHandler error in flutter?

Answer 1

Change your code:

await PermissionHandler().checkPermissionStatus(PermissionGroup.contacts);  

To this:

await Permission.contacts.status 

Change this code also:

await PermissionHandler().requestPermissions([PermissionGroup.contacts]);

To this:

await Permission.contacts.request 

Change all of the PermissionGroup words to Permission, take out the Group word.

Answer 2

Your code is build with permission_handler: 4.4.0
In pubspec.yaml, please specify permission_handler: 4.4.0

dependencies:
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter
  contacts_service: any
  permission_handler: 4.4.0
