Seems to conflict with flutter_simple_permissions

[zachgrayio]

When attempting to use the sms library alongside simple_permissions (https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/simple_permissions), the app crashes as soon as sms initializes.

To reproduce, simply install simple_permissions to the sms example app and request a permission.

Hi, are you requesting SMS permission with simple_permissions?

[zachgrayio]

@babariviere - nope, I'm just trying to get READ/WRITE access to external storage.

[babariviere]

Do you have any log?

[zachgrayio]

Sure, I'll fire that branch back up now

So, what's interesting is that when I implemented simple_permissions, I'd already allowed the sms permissions so they were saved for the app and it didn't ask again; my live-reloads and even full launches of the app were fine until I uninstalled the app entirely and sms needed to request perms again.

At this point, the app boots OK, and then sms requests permissions and the android native dialog appears asking for access to phone - when I click allow, the app crashes with the following (notice it's actually simple_permissions crashing even though that code hasn't been called directly yet):

I'm thinking the sms plugin's native code is overwriting the simple_permissions channel perhaps?

[babariviere]

Yes I think as we have 2 different listener for permission, it cannot choose which one to use

[zachgrayio]

I wonder how much work it would be to make use of simple permissions to request permissions in sms to avoid a conflict
