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

See original GitHub issue

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.

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.
