A lot of apps ask for Bluetooth because Google Chromecast wanted it. I think Google put out a Chromecast framework update to fix this, though I'm not positive.


You can pick a version of the SDK without "Guest mode" support that will not use Bluetooth.


I'm pretty sure before iOS 13 came out there was no option to remove bluetooth. So any apps that haven't updated to the newer SDK will still be requesting bluetooth access.


Yeah, something like that. The change was made in response to iOS 13.
