Hi there, I was experimenting with the Android.template.xml, to use different API-related selections, to searate old and new Bluetooth settings. Some recommendations in the web point to this nice and clean solution, so separate APIs in the manifest: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="..."> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" android:maxSdkVersion="30" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN" android:maxSdkVersion="30" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_SCAN" android:usesPermissionFlags="neverForLocation" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" android:maxSdkVersion="30" /> <application ... /> </manifest> Using the android:maxSdkVersion and the android:usesPermissionFlags="neverForLocation" identifier would allow an easy control over different versions. Unfortunately this didn't work in my current setup, maybe I have to rry again with a clean project, but I see a failure "attribute neverForLocation is not available". This seems that targeting to API31 is needed, and I'm still under API30, in its D11 default setup. But I'm not sure why this message pops up, and is not simply ignored, if there is an unknown attribute. Probably this needs linked somehow to the API31, and API30 throws exception. To be rescued, maybe the android:maxSdkVersion might work under different versions in different configurations, to make Delphi compatible with several API's at the same time in one manifest ? To be clear, I'm not talking about the targetSdkVersion here, but if someone could make use of the android:maxSdkVersion attribute already. I'm curious if somebody has get this working as expected under Delphi. Beside that, what would be the best way to handle BluetoothLE under API30, to be compatible with old and new devices ?

Hello, I am using Delphi 10.3.3, targeting Android 64Bit and 32Bit. Attached is a test project I used. If that same project is compiled for Android 32Bit it gets two permission request as can be seen in below pictures However, if same code without changing anything is compiled for Android 64Bit it only asks for a single permission as can be seen in below picture Both bitness apk files are tested on same physical phone running Android 9. I have tried to change order of permissions in request to see if this is related with request order. I always get same above permission asked on 64bit version. Let me know if you think this is a bug in Delphi, please. Thanks & regards, Ertan Android64Bit_Permisions.7z
