Hi,
My app attempts to automatically pair my bluetooth device when it finds it, but I am getting crashes at this point in android 7.
Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: Need BLUETOOTH PRIVILEGED permission: Neither user 10082 nor current process has android.permission.BLUETOOTH_PRIVILEGED.
Click to expand...

I have added the line "AddPermission(android.permission.BLUETOOTH_PRIVILEGED)" in my manifest editor, but am still getting the error.

Any ideas?

Ok so I've disabled it android 7+.
Now I have a problem as my app needs to know if pairing has been done before it continues.
Can I intercept an event that tells me the user has clicked the pairing OK button?

Maybe this, but I don't know if this applies to Bluetooth 2.1 or BLE only (I use 2.1)

If StartingIntent.Action = "android.bluetooth.device.action.BOND_BONDED" Then
