The package uses bluetooth to fetch data from the eSense earplugs. Therefore permission to access bluetooth must be enabled on both Android and iOS, as follows. Then make sure to obtain permissions in your app to use bluetooth.

Android Integration

Add the following to your app’s manifest.xml file located in android/app/src/main:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <uses-permission
        android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"
        android:maxSdkVersion="30" />
    <uses-permission
        android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN"
        android:maxSdkVersion="30" />

        android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_SCAN"
        android:usesPermissionFlags="neverForLocation" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT"/>

    <application ...>
</manifest>
