Notes

• getMacAddress complexity

  • Android do not provide mac address with WifiInfo on Android >= 6
    • new security rules: see API 6 changes
    • see code Wifi.java getMacAddress_sol1()
    • the result will be "02:00:00:00:00:00"
  • This plugin include a workaround that use network information
    • see code Wifi.java getMacAddress_sol2()
  • Android 7 changed the rule again
    • DevicePolicyManager can be used see API 7 changes
    • this plugin do not handle that case

• listWifiNetworks permission issue

  • Since Android 6 (again) ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION location permission as to be asked on runtime (popup)
