Hello and thank you for this code. However, I don't understand the purpose of the BluetoothPermissions class at the root of Application. How do you make the link between BluetoothPermissions at the root of Application and BluetoothPermissions in Platforms.Android ? I have the impression that my programme doesn't pass into BluetoothPermissions in Plateforms.Android...

@ALEXJNX
I believe you need to make clear what you mean by root of Application I dont think it is proper terminology so it cant clearly explain what you are trying to say.
Anyway MAUI is cross platform, so some of this code is abstracted and some is platform specific, I advise you get familiar with that first which will make it more easy to understand here.
