Stop using all iOS permissions by default

[digira1n]

After installing firebase_messaging, Apple will start rejecting binaries:

ITMS-90683: Missing Purpose String in Info.plist

• NSContactsUsageDescription
• NSCalendarsUsageDescription
• NSAppleMusicUsageDescription
• NSMotionUsageDescription
• NSSpeechRecognitionUsageDescription
• NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription
• NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription

The only capability that I need is to send push notifications.

Being forced to add dummy messages to explain why we use something that we don't use, makes no sense.

Is there a way to drop these permissions and simply ignore them?
Thank you

Apparently my issue is a combination of factors.

• For one, adding firebase_messaging (as the only change since the last release)
• And also, using permission_handlers

After applying the proposed change from this thread ad the end of the ios/Podfile, the build will get through the App Store console.
