Unable to find Friend device from AppWithWearable on Android w/o manually granting location permision

[jhsu]

The app can't find the Friend device unless going into App Permissions and manually granting location permissions.

Device: Pixel 8 Pro OS: Android 14

The user should be prompted when launching the app for all necessary permissions.

Note: It did prompt me for nearby devices and notifications

Solution: If platform is Android ask for extra GPS permission for Bluetooth to work

Is it possible for Android users to share the app (.apk or something else)? iOS app can be directly downloaded by anyone but Android users require to build it from scratch.

@AshishSardana yeah we are working on releasing a apk, will be done soon 🙏

• we are working on releasing the app to google play store, this is a work in progress

Thanks @Bentlybro! I'll be the first one to try and report/fix any issues in it.

Team, if there's an early version of Android apk that can be tested, I'm all in.
