Use case
On iOS AVPlayer has option to prevent display sleep during playback. This option is set to true by default according to Apple documentation.
In case you would like to continue playing video in background (maybe with some third-party plugin) there is a case when unlocked device will never sleep due to mentioned AVPlayer flag. And if you unlock device the screen will stay "on" while the video plays like on attached image (and draws additional battery). For now there is no way to switch this option with current video_player API.
Proposal
Suggestion is to set the preventsDisplaySleepDuringVideoPlayback flag of AVPlayer to false by default. The posibility to set this flag is available since iOS 12.
And you could still manually control state of the device screen if you would like to prevent sleeping, e.g. wakelock package
