<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CALL_LOG" />

Add this to your android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml file just under the first < manifest> tag.

At first you need to add permission to manifest so operating system will know that your app can ask for log reading. for that, you need to go to:

android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml


android/app/src/debug/AndroidManifest.xml

You need to paste this permission under manifest<>

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CALL_LOG" />

So, now you have to ask user to grant this request. for that you can use this plugin permission_handler

You can ask for permission like this:

void getPermissionUser() async {
    if (await Permission.phone.request().isGranted) {
      getLog();
    } else {
      await Permission.phone.request();
    }
  }

Now you can read call logs without any errors.

If the permission to access call logs was denied, this error would occur

This package is not supported anymore and not working for me. after searching along I found this package from the flutter plugin and I made my own fork and migrated it to null safety and it's now working check it out as a working alternative
