    1. DeviceInfo.deviceId

      • Returns a string that is an identifier for the represented device, persisted across sessions.

    2. DeviceInfo.kind

      • Returns an enumerated value that is either videoinput , audiooutput or audioinput.

    flutter_additional_ios_build_settings(target)
    target.build_configurations.each do |config|
    //Add this into your podfile
      config.build_settings['GCC_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS'] ||= [
        'PERMISSION_CAMERA=1',
        'PERMISSION_MICROPHONE=1',
