.netMaui GA Android BluetoothLE: Stumbled at using RequestPermissions

Hi, I have great hopes for this. So trying to follow the example at https://github.com/inthehand/32feet/wiki/Bluetooth-Low-Energy

So I nuget the InTheHand.BluetoothLE 4.0.24 I add the line

RequestPermissions(new string[] { Manifest.Permission.AccessCoarseLocation, Manifest.Permission.BluetoothAdmin }, 1);

I get the red wavy lines under RequestPermission and Manifest

I assume? that I need to use

using InTheHand.Bluetooth;  (I expected BluetoothLE, but not in the intellisense,  as I don't want to use Bluetooth classic?)

However the red wavy lines don’t disappear.

What stupid thing am I doing (or not doing) 😦)

The following post https://gist.github.com/salarcode/da8ad2b993e67c602db88a62259d0456 shows how to add theBluetooth permissions. It seems to be working as for my app it now seems to have Bluetooth permission options. It doesn’t display a popup requesting access. I don’t yet know if that is something Android automatically does or it’s what needs to be written for Maui. For example requesting Location permission results in a very pretty popup.

Anyway it’s progress and maybe can be improved?

The source thread for this is https://github.com/dotnet/maui/discussions/277

I’ll add a link to that post to the Wiki. It’s a good sample because it covers all the different Android versions where different permission combinations are required. Ultimately it would be good to either include a maui permission in this library or submit it to the maui essentials library so that it is always available out of the box.
