Iam trying to add two permissions i.e. storage and camera. I have done the required setup in androidmanifest.xml file and in the main.dart called both the requests using switch. It gives the error but the app works and the permissions are also updated

Answer 1

The switch-statements in _listenForPermission will call requestForPermission twice, if both cameraStatus and storageStatus have status PermissionStatus.denied. Therefore you get the exception:
PlatformException(PermissionHandler.PermissionManager, A request for permissions is already running, please wait for it to finish before doing another request (note that you can request multiple permissions at the same time)., null, null)
The permission_handler package allows you to request multiple permission in one call like this:
// You can request multiple permissions at once.
Map<Permission, PermissionStatus> statuses = await [
Permission.location,
Permission.storage,
].request();
print(statuses[Permission.location]);
