AUTHORIZATIONS
To search for BLE devices, the app needs ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION permission. The reason is (taken from Google’s developer guide): LE tags are often associated with location. To use BluetoothLeScanner, you need to request user permission by declaring ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION or ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission in your app’s manifest file. Without these permissions, scans will not return any results.
