Remove Dependency on NSCalendarsUsage

Hi Team,

Although UI for MAUI does not have a Calendar/Scheduler control... you're still forcing us to declare a NSCaldendarsUsage permission in info.plist because of some old code inside the native iOS static library inherited from UI for Xamarin.

I have some requests/comments for you:

  • Please remove this from the native iOS static library, there is no use for it at the moment.
  • If you plan on bringing the old Xamarin Calendar to the MAUI with the new handler architecture; please split up the iOS libraries so that the Calendar's use of this API can be linked out during compilation.
  • If you are going to build a new calendar/scheduler using modern MAUI layers; please allow non-Calendar consumers to not require any permissions that Calendar may need.

I do understand that if I'm not using the Calendar in my app, the user will not be explicitly asked to approve permissions. However, this is unacceptable excuse because my org's application only uses the RadListView, but we still have to show that the calendar is a potential access point in the permissions manifest.  In the world of security conscious users and enterprise security audits, this explanation is tiresome to hold up.

We've known about this problem for many years, and hopefully .NET MAUI can be a fresh break away from the headaches of Xamarin.

Thank you for your time and consideration,

Gerard
