As far as I know, this is not possible.

Calendar permissions are handled by the operating system (iOS / Android) and this plugin can only write to calendars that the user can also edit. This, however, is not unique to this plugin, bit rather affects any application that wants to interact with the system calendars.

If you were to create a writable local calendar, then the app and the user can edit events. If you were to create a readonly local calendar, then neither the app nor the user can edit events, which is why the operating system doesn't allow creating local readonly calendars in the first place, since they would be useless.

Your only option to achieve your vision would be to create a remote server that provides a readonly calendar, which the user adds to their system calendars. Then you would have a server api that allows your app to modify the calendar on your server, which then updates the user's readonly calendar on their device. However, for this option the device_calendar plugin would be mostly useless.
