What does it mean to use the photos permission instead of the photos permission?

flutter-permission-handler/permission_handler_platform_interface/lib/src/permissions.dart

Lines 91 to 118 in 9290ecd

	/// Photos can be read and added. If you only want to read them, you can
	/// use the [photos] permission instead (iOS only).
	///
	/// Depending on the platform and version, the requirements are slightly
	/// different:
	///
	/// **iOS:**
	/// - When running Photos (iOS 14+ read & write access level)
	///
	/// **Android:**
	/// - Devices running Android 12 (API level 32) or lower: use [Permissions.storage].
	/// - Devices running Android 13 (API level 33) and above: Should use [Permissions.photos].
	///
	/// EXAMPLE: in Manifest:
	/// <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" android:maxSdkVersion="32"/>
	/// <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES"/>
	///
	/// In Flutter to check the status:
	///
	/// if (Platform.isAndroid) {
	/// final androidInfo = await DeviceInfoPlugin().androidInfo;
	/// if (androidInfo.version.sdkInt <= 32) {
	/// use [Permissions.storage.status]
	/// } else {
	/// use [Permissions.photos.status]
	/// }
	/// }
	static const photos = Permission._(9);

I am not familiar with iOS permissions, so I cannot determine what this means. Is it mistype?

Hi @kzrnm,

This seems to be a mistype indeed. I will mark this issue as documentation mistake as a reminder to improve on that.
