Mac OS support

[neonio]

Hi there,
I think both macOS and iOS use EventKit fetch calendar data, and they share the same API, do we have a plan to support the macOS platform?

You are welcome to try!

I too think they may be easy to migrate. Try allowing Mac to run IOS logic and see how it goes. Most are gatekeeped by Platform.isIOS.

I tried to run the example app on MacOS, and I get a MissingPluginException when calling DeviceCalendarPlugin().hasPermissions():

No implementation found for method hasPermissions on channel plugins.builttoroam.com/device_calendar

This happens also for the methods requestPermissions and retrieveCalendars.

I do not know enough about platform channels in Flutter to understand why this error occurs or how it can be fixed. I see that the DeviceCalendarPlugin simply calls Flutter's MethodChannel with the respective method name. Any idea how we can get this to work on MacOS?

#419 looks promising
@verrannt you may take a look at it?

@builttoroamadmin please help

What sort of help do you mean?

If you need Mac support now, you can try the #419 and see if it fits
I think I can test it on Mac in a week or two

Please refer #466 for checking the PR for supporting macOS.

What's going on? May I use it under MacOS now?

@sheng-di it worked on Intel based Macs at some point in the past. I have no idea if it still works. You are free to test.

It is not officially supported yet.
