BluetoothAdmin does not work on Android 13

Dont worry, BluetoothAdmin does work on Android 13 - I am using it myself right now. I would like to help you more but I have no idea of what you are trying to accomplish. The Bluetooth chat example is a useful example but it illustrates a specific mode of communication - in this case between two 'phones. It might not be exactly what you want to do. Different types of application can require different permissions, by the way.

I don't use B4Xpages so I think that permissions are not being requested and RuntimePermissions library does not include bluetooth globals...

I don't use B4Xpages

That is not likely to be the problem - I do not use B4XPages either as a rule, and never yet with Bluetooth. And the permissions that you need will be in the RuntimePermissions library, I am sure.

In my case I am communicating with a microprocessor via an HC-05 Bluetooth module. In that case only these two permissions are needed and everything is fine ...

AddPermission(android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION)
AddPermission(android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)
