Hi,

I’m not completely sure if this is an issue with this package itself, but I’m seeing a crash/termination when navigating to the system notification settings from my Flutter app using this package.

When I run the following minimal app and then turn off notifications for the app in the system settings screen, the app dies.

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:app_settings/app_settings.dart';

void main(List<String> args) {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();

  runApp(MaterialApp(home: SettingsNotificationsScreen()));
}

class SettingsNotificationsScreen extends StatefulWidget {
  const SettingsNotificationsScreen({super.key});

  @override
  State<SettingsNotificationsScreen> createState() => _SettingsNotificationsScreenState();
}

class _SettingsNotificationsScreenState extends State<SettingsNotificationsScreen> {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: SafeArea(
        child: Center(
          child: FilledButton.icon(
            onPressed: () {
              AppSettings.openAppSettings(type: AppSettingsType.notification);
            },
            label: Text('go to system settings'),
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

Steps to reproduce

1. Run the app above.
2. Tap “go to system settings” button.
3. In the system screen that opens, turn off notifications for this app.
4. Go back to the app.

Actual behavior

• After turning notifications off (and returning to the app), the app process dies / the app crashes.

Expected behavior

• The app should keep running normally after returning from the system notification settings screen, or provide a way to restart the app just like android OS do(second video).

I have the same issue, and my app is asking the user to allow the Bluetooth usage in app settings. App crashed and died after going back from settings.

Have the same scenario for Notifications settings, maybe someone has workaround or any tips on this topic?
