Fine, but the Companion app should request this permission automatically.

I only removed the second line in the after picking
And now it is not showing the Mac address not valid
Did you test you app with the APK.
If so, does it work? I don't think so (at least not on Android 12+).
No the app does work i am not sure why it won't work i just need to enable its permission manually
Ok, but do you really want the user to grant the permission manually?
Yes, this fix is already in progress:
I don't think this is correct, especially not for Android ≤ 11.
Here is a test APK that should work on all Android versions:
Maybe some can test it (on different Android versions) and give feedback.
I checked it on Android 9, 10, 11, 12.
At least these permissions must be declared in the Manifest (some only up to maxSdk=30):
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_SCAN"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT"/>
I added a LocationSensor (as a dummy) to declare LOCATION permissions in the Manifest (and disabled it in Designer).
Have you tried the test server I had set up for the change? The permissions should have the correct maxSdk asserted and also only ask for BLUETOOTH_CONNECT on Android S and later.
I'll check it later ...
I checked it now on the test server. Only the following permissions are declared there in the manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
So it doesn't work on Android 12+.
But these blocks (APK built on the regular AI2 server) seem to work on all Android versions:
It doesn't work before without
LOCATIONpermission.
But apparently it is not necessary.

These "beloved" permissions have been driving me crazy for almost 10 years. 
And it seems to be getting worse every year!
I'll put this on my schedule for tomorrow. The test server should be producing the maxSdkVersion annotations, plus the new Android 12 permissions, so I'm not sure why you're seeing this behavior.
