  1. I get the error:

    null is not an object (evaluating ‘bleManager.scan’)

    when I tap on “Scan Bluetooth Devices” button.

    I’m running it in Expo Go in an Android simulator. Is it supposed to be run in Expo Go, either in a simulator or real device?

    1. Hey Alan,

      The issue is with Expo. Expo does not support the ble-manager package. You need to use a native project for it

  2. When I press scan bluetooth devices, and it said, need android.permission.BLUETOOTH_SCAN permission for AttributionSource {uid= 10162, packageName = com.yourprojectname, attributionTag= null, token = android.os.BinderProxy@df42937, next= null}: GattServiceregisterScanner

      1. Yeah, I have answered the question.

        Also, the article has been updated(will be published shortly after review) and should address any more of your questions. Thank you.

    1. This error message means you don’t have android.permission.BLUETOOTH_SCAN permission that is required to scan for devices.

      To resolve this issue, check if the permission is included in your AndroidManifest.xml file. By permission, I’m referring to the last line in the code below but make sure the others are included too:

  3. using react native cli,getting .BLUETOOTH_SCAN permission error on android 12 ad for android 10, 11 no any bluetooth device found

    1. Android 12 requires extra permissions like the ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION. Add this line to your AndroidManifest.xml file.

      Follow the rest of the article and it should resolved

  4. I am on android 13. I click the scan button and nothing returns. I know there are ble devices by using nRF Connect. Any idea why no devices would display after scanning?

        1. Has the article been published yet? I am having issues with android 13 not looking like its scanning for devices. I am also having issues with android 12 (Yes, I added all bluetooth related uses permissions to the manifest file), where it returns a android.permissions.bluetooth_scan exception.
