'Flutter get wifi information without requiring location permission?
The most popular pub.dev plugin for getting the current SSID and other wifi information, network_info_flutter, requires location permission. It's called In my current project, the app doesn't need the location permission for anything else. I'm afraid that if users see the request for the location permission, they will think the app is malicious when it isn't. Is there a better way to get the current SSID that a device is connected to without requiring a location permission using Flutter?
Edit: To clarify, the reason why I have a problem with this is because my app functionality doesn't do anything remotely related to location. I'm afraid that requesting the location permission will look malicious, even when the only purpose is to be able to get the name of the SSID. If users reject the permission, then the app won't be able to display the SSID right and display as 'null'.
