Best Practices

Always check permission status before performing sensitive operations.
Provide clear rationales for why permissions are needed.
Gracefully handle permission denials.
Use openAppSettings() for permanent denials.
Use checkMultiplePermissions() to handle multiple permissions at once.

Error Handling

The plugin returns different status enums:

PermissionStatus.granted: Permission successfully obtained.
PermissionStatus.denied: Permission rejected by the user.
PermissionStatus.openSettings: Permanent denial, suggest manual settings.
PermissionStatus.error: An error occurred during the permission request.
