Why cannot aromatic primary amines be prepared by Gabriel phthalimide synthesis?

(N/A) Gabriel phthalimide synthesis is used for the preparation of aliphatic primary amines. It involves nucleophilic substitution $(S_{N}2)$ of alkyl halides by the anion formed by the phthalimide.
However,aryl halides do not undergo nucleophilic substitution with the anion formed by the phthalimide because the carbon-halogen bond in aryl halides has partial double bond character and the electron-rich benzene ring repels the nucleophile.
Hence,aromatic primary amines cannot be prepared by this process.
