[Bug]:

Please check the following before submitting a new issue.

• I have searched the existing issues.
• I have carefully read the documentation and verified I have added the required platform specific configuration.

Please select affected platform(s)

• Android
• iOS
• Windows

Steps to reproduce

1. Create Flutter project with permission_handler: ^12.0.1
2. Enable Swift Package Manager: flutter config
   --enable-swift-package-manager
3. Run flutter build ios --simulator
4. Observe build failure on privacy bundle generation

Expected results

The privacy bundle should build successfully as a resource-only bundle containing just the PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy file.

Actual results

Current Behavior:
When using permission_handler_apple 9.4.7 in a Flutter project with Swift Package Manager enabled (hybrid SPM/CocoaPods setup), the iOS build fails with:

Error (Xcode): Build input file cannot be found:
'/path/to/build/ios/Debug-iphonesimulator/permission_handler_apple/permis
sion_handler_apple_privacy.bundle/permission_handler_apple_privacy'.
Did you forget to declare this file as an output of a script phase or custom build rule which produces it?

The issue occurs because:

1. Most plugins successfully migrate to SPM in the hybrid setup
2. permission_handler_apple remains in CocoaPods (as expected, since it
   doesn't have SPM support yet)
3. The CocoaPods resource bundle generation gets confused in the mixed environment
4. Xcode expects an executable file in the privacy bundle, but it should be resource-only

The podspec correctly defines:
s.resource_bundles = {'permission_handler_apple_privacy' =>
['Resources/PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy']}

But the build system treats it as an executable bundle instead of a resource bundle.

Code sample

Code sample

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
  import 'package:permission_handler/permission_handler.dart';
  import 'dart:io';

  void main() {
    runApp(const MyApp());
  }

  class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
    const MyApp({super.key});

    @override
    Widget build(BuildContext context) {
      return MaterialApp(
        title: 'Permission Handler SPM Bug',
        home: const MyHomePage(),
      );
    }
  }

  class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
    const MyHomePage({super.key});

    @override
    State<MyHomePage> createState() => _MyHomePageState();
  }

  class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
    String _permissionStatus = 'Unknown';

    Future<void> _requestMicrophonePermission() async {
      if (Platform.isAndroid) {
        final status = await Permission.microphone.request();
        setState(() {
          _permissionStatus = status.toString();
        });
      } else {
        setState(() {
          _permissionStatus = 'iOS permissions handled via Info.plist';
        });
      }
    }

    @override
    Widget build(BuildContext context) {
      return Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(
          title: const Text('Permission Handler SPM Bug'),
        ),
        body: Center(
          child: Column(
            mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
            children: [
              Text('Permission Status: $_permissionStatus'),
              const SizedBox(height: 20),
              ElevatedButton(
                onPressed: _requestMicrophonePermission,
                child: const Text('Request Microphone Permission'),
              ),
            ],
          ),
        ),
      );
    }
  }
