App Permissions Required When Adding a Device

Permissions required by the App when adding a MOCREO device

• Bluetooth permissions

  • Devices running on Android：

    1. On Android ≥12 (API ≥31), it is necessary to proactively obtain the "Nearby Devices" permission, and it is no longer necessary to obtain the location permission.

    2. On Android ≤11 (API ≤30) and lower, because they are implicitly granted at build time, i.e., they don't need to be actively obtained, but they do need to be actively obtained for the "location" permission.

  • Devices running on iOS：

    1. On iOS ≥13, Bluetooth authorization for the app is required.

    2. On iOS ≤12 and lower, authorization is granted by default and Bluetooth permissions are not required.

    3. Calling Bluetooth functionality on iOS does not require location functionality and permissions.

• Notification permissions

  • Devices running on Android：

    • On Android 13 and above, notification permissions are required to send notifications to apps.

    • On Android ≤12 versions, authorization is granted by default.

  • Devices running on iOS：

    • iOS does not require relevant settings.

• File read and write permissions

  • Devices running on Android：

    • File read permissions on Android 13:

      • READ_MEDIA_IMAGES: accesses images written by other applications.

      • READ_MEDIA_VIDEO: Access video written by other applications.

      • READ_MEDIA_AUDIO: Access audio written by other applications.

    • On Android 13, please do not try to check or dynamically request READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE or WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permissions anymore, the system will simply reject them.

    • Please note that in the vast majority of cases, we only need to save our own media files to the media library, not replace or delete files from other applications.

    • The file read/write permissions on Android ≤12 are READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE.

  • Devices running on iOS：

    • iOS does not require relevant settings.
