Hi @kylieo123, thank you for testing and reporting the issue.

Location permissions is required by Android OS for bluetooth functionalities (device discovery and connection). You can read more from the docs here regarding ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION

As part of this issue, I adapted the message to Permissions not granted. Please visit device settings and grant the required Location and Nearby devices permissions to receive measurements from your connected devices. to reflect the same naming as app settings in this PR #173. Please let me know whether you would expect an alternative phrasing for the message (cc: @PSchmiedmayer)

Nice, I like the added text and I think it will point users in the right direction if we are missing that permission set; thank you @eldcn!
