BLUETOOTH permission is listed as optional in docs but seems to be required #424

agramian · 2017-02-02T18:35:03Z

The Android setup docs under Step 2 - Add permissions to your AndroidManifest.xml: list the BLUETOOTH permission as optional but I am seeing a consistent crash for at least a Samsung SM-925T. I have not tested enough to determine if this is device specific but either way it should not happen. It causes our app to go into a crash/restart cycle of sometimes more than 10 times.

Hi @agramian ! Thanks for reporting this. What's the SDK Version that you are using? Also, have you modified the library somehow?

Thanks!

agramian · 2017-02-06T22:39:20Z

Hi @patedit no I have not modified the library at all. I'm using it exactly as your docs instruct. Here's the info from my gradle file.

    compileSdkVersion 25
    buildToolsVersion "25.0.2"

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 16
        targetSdkVersion 25
...
    compile "com.mixpanel.android:mixpanel-android:4.9.3"

RockyLin · 2017-02-19T08:02:47Z

+1 same problem

edenman · 2017-03-02T23:05:55Z

What's slightly crazy about this is that there's already this in SystemInformation.isBluetoothEnabled():

        } catch (SecurityException e) {
            // do nothing since we don't have permissions
        }

I can't figure out from the stacktrace how the app would be crashing on a SecurityException from the getDefaultAdapter() call

patedit · 2017-03-02T23:07:38Z

Hehe, I know. This crash is pretty crazy (hence my interest of including the permission in the AndroidManifest.xml). I suspect it's an OEM implementation that I'd need to dig into.

ghost · 2017-04-06T08:44:21Z

+1 similar issue:
I get the same error message every time i open the app. But it does not crash at least.

Still.. it looks wierd to see error output in my logcat every time I open the app..

same here on android N samsung device s8

Any updates on this issue?

patedit · 2017-08-12T00:03:53Z

guys, could you kindly tell me what are the devices you are seeing this issue on and their android version? thanks!

RockyLin · 2017-08-14T04:05:12Z

@patedit Samsung s7 Edge
Android 7.0

aidinism · 2017-08-14T23:58:03Z

same issue on S6 EDGE and S7 EDGE

patedit · 2017-08-15T00:00:13Z

what about the android version? is it only happening on N? Do you guys see something in common with all the devices? thanks!

aidinism · 2017-08-15T00:01:32Z

Android API 7.0

aidinism · 2017-08-15T00:01:43Z

both devices

eladkatz · 2017-08-30T21:29:13Z

Same here, on galaxy s7 edge

houssemzaier · 2017-09-12T12:35:36Z

It seems like this bug is still not solved yet.
@patedit ,@Mixplanel can you please resolve the problem ASAP...
We don't really want to have a BLUETOOTH permission in our manifest ..requesting this is really permission so bad for the UX..

dementia2029 · 2017-09-21T14:21:08Z

I cant even download my app from play store from emulator because emulators do not have bluetooth!!! FIX IT

patedit · 2017-09-22T19:33:35Z

@dementia2029 Sorry, I am not sure I understand your problem. Whether you can or can't download your app from Google Play seems unrelated to this issue. Feel free to add more details!

Guys, hopefully this PR will solve your issue #499 I'll make a release today!

adin234 · 2017-11-15T04:56:17Z

@patedit we can't download a released app (with mixpanel) from google play to our emulator because mixpanel requires bluetooth, if the device doesn't have bluetooth then the app wont show up in google play.

levibostian · 2017-11-15T13:10:28Z

@adin234 because of this pull request Mixpanel no longer requires bluetooth. If you would like to remove the need from your manifest, make a release, and try installing on an emulator again, you may do so.

adin234 · 2017-11-15T15:20:27Z

@levibostian i just explained to @patedit why this issue and the app not being downloadable from the store and an emulator are related

patedit · 2017-11-15T17:53:35Z

Thanks for the clarification @adin234 ! And nice profile pic 👨‍💻
