Completely removes the Bluetooth connection/pairing with my Bose headphones without any warning as soon as the app is launched and given permission to scan nearby devices. I don't want to be forced to reconnect my headphones every time I want to change the settings of our scanners!

Useless. Connected a cabled scanner and it registered it with a beep, but then switched to asking me to connect my cordless scanner. Total garbage. Requires your location AND Bluetooth address even if you aren't using a Bluetooth scanner. Idiotic. Completely idiotic.

Thank you for your feedback. We also felt you should have an option to connection without entering a Bluetooth address. The solution has been cut in. In terms of entering your location and Bluetooth address, that is driven by Android (Google) if your app has even the potential for using the Bluetooth.

What’s new

- Added Android 16 Support.
- Added support for DCSSDK_LOAD_CONFIGURATION API.
- Fixed a Null Pointer Exception on BLE scanner disconnect.
- Fixed unhandled exceptions during Bluetooth discovery due to nullreferenced remote device.
