Since Android API level 31, location permission is no longer required for using Bluetooth APIs if developers strongly assert that their app doesn't derive physical location from Bluetooth scan results. This is done by setting
usesPermissionFlags="neverForLocation"in the AndroidManifest.xml:However, the
usesPermissionFlagsattribute was not exposed in the .NETUsesPermissionAttribute, preventing developers from using this Android feature.Changes Made
This PR exposes the
usesPermissionFlagsattribute by:metadata.xmlto enable auto-generation by the manifest-attribute-codegen systemThe implementation leverages the existing auto-generation system instead of manual modifications, ensuring consistency with the codebase architecture.
Usage Examples
Developers can now use:
This generates the correct AndroidManifest.xml entry as specified in Android documentation.
Fixes #10409.
