pfodApp does not and never has used or stored or sent any location
information. However prior to Android 12, Google insisted on pfodApp
requesting Location permission in order to make
Bluetooth
connections. On Android 12+ it is possible to avoid asking for the
Location permission
since pfodApp does not actually use, store or
send any location information. However pfodApp
still runs mobiles
back to Android V4.4 and currently does not take advantage of that
aspect of
Android V12.
So for now on Android 12+ allow Location permission “While
using the app” .
NOTE: Do not choose “Only this
time” because pfodApp only checks for permissions on start up
not every time it is needed. So choosing “Only this time”
will cause pfodApp to fail at some later time.
