Dear Android Devs:

What's the magic permissions set required to let BLE scans run in a foregrounded service while the screen is off (Currently on Android 12 but knowing how this works on <12 would be nice too)?

Yes I have battery optimizations turned off.

@buttplugio For android 12 and up, bluetooth_scan (and bluetooth_connect), for below you need access_fine_location, and bluetooth_admin... i think, have been spending some time with that the last few days - it's in Crumpet's manifest if you want a look (think you're in the chat?)
