Bluettoth permission not included in the final AndroidManifest.xml

Unity Engine
1

Hello,

I want to use bluetooth in my Oculus Quest device so I need to include android.permission.BLUETOOTH permission in the .apk generated by Unity.

I included the AndroidManifest.xml file below in the …/MyProject/Assets/Plugins/Android/

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>





The permissions ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION and BLUETOOTH_ADMIN was included but not the BLUETOOTH permission.

Im using Oculus Plugin + Unity 2019.4.16f1

I tried with Unity versions 2019.3.2.f1, 2020.1.0f1, 2020.1.9f1. Same result. Not work.

I cant believe it. Any idea?

Thanks in advance!!

It seems the problem is being caused by Oculus XR Plugin since version 1.5.0. The plugin is removing the BLUETOOTH permission from builds [Changelog | Oculus XR Plugin | 1.8.1][Android Permission is not include in final apk using Unity + Oculus Quest - Stack Overflow]

I guess there are two solutions:

  1. Downgrade to version 1.4.3
  2. Edit the OculusBuildProcessor.cs file found in Packages/Oculus XR Plugin/Editor and comment the line where the BLUETOOTH permission is removed.

The line in question is #434: RemoveNameValueElementInTag(manifestDoc, nodePath, "uses-permission", "android:name", "android.permission.BLUETOOTH");
