Getting Started

Android

You need to add the following permissions to your AndroidManifest.xml file:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_SCAN" android:usesPermissionFlags="neverForLocation" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" android:maxSdkVersion="30" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" android:maxSdkVersion="30" />

If you use BLUETOOTH_SCAN to determine location, modify your AndroidManfiest.xml file to include the following entry:

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_SCAN" 
                     tools:remove="android:usesPermissionFlags"
                     tools:targetApi="s" />

If you use location services in your app, remove android:maxSdkVersion="30" from the location permission tags

Android ProGuard rules

In case you are using ProGuard add the following snippet to your proguard-rules.pro file:

-keep class com.signify.hue.** { *; }

This will prevent issues like #131.
