Hi,

I can't find any information how to handle bluetooth permissions when minsdk is lower than 31. Am I supposed to request coarse location for if sdk is < 31 and otherwise I request BLUETOOTH_SCAN and BLUETOOTH_CONNECT?

What about using an annotation such as this?

@RequiresPermission(allOf = [
    android.Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH,
    android.Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN,
    android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION,
])

If I change it to

@RequiresPermission(allOf = [
    android.Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH_SCAN,
    android.Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT
])

I will get warnings about minSdk. So does this mean I can't use this annotation since the permissions I need are different depending on OS?

As far as I know, you will need ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION;
As with Bluetooth, using Bluetooth Beacons, you would be able to find the user’s location.
I would just ask for all the above permissions to be safe.
