+## Setting up permissions
+
+Enabling scanning the surroundings for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Remote ID advertisements requires setting up permissions. App has to request required permissions, the plugin only checks that permissions are granted. If some permissions are missing, the plugin throws `PermissionsMissingException` when attempting to start the scan. Use for example the [permission handler package](https://pub.dev/packages/permission_handler) to request permissions.
+
+
+### Android Setup
+Android allows both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth scanning. Bluetooth scanning requires Bluetooth and Bluetooth Scan permission. Location permission is required for Bluetooth scanning since Android 12 (API level 31).
+Check the [documentation on Bluetooth permissions](https://developer.android.com/develop/connectivity/bluetooth/bt-permissions).
+
+Wi-Fi scanning requires location permission up to version 12 (API level 31), since version 13, the Nearby Wifi Devices permission is required.
+Check the [documentation on Wi-Fi permissions](https://developer.android.com/develop/connectivity/wifi/wifi-permissions).
+
+Permissions need to be added to `AndroidManifest.xml` file:
+
+```
+<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
+    package="com.example.dronescanner_prototype">
+    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"/>
+    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_SCAN" />
+    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
+    <uses-permission
+      android:name="android.permission.NEARBY_WIFI_DEVICES"
+      android:usesPermissionFlags="neverForLocation" />
+</manifest>
+```
+
+### iOS Setup
+
+iOS does not allow Wi-Fi scanning, only Bluetooth scanning is possible. Bluetooth permission is required. Apart from requesting permission, it also needs to be added to `Info.plist`.
+
+- add `NSBluetoothAlwaysUsageDescription key` to `Info.plist` with the `string` type. Use any description, for example the one in code snippet. It will be shown in dialog when requesting permission.
+```
+<dict>
+    ...
+    <key>NSBluetoothAlwaysUsageDescription</key>
+    <string>The application needs Bluetooth permission to acquire data from nearby aircraft.</string>
+    ...
+```
+
+- permission handler requires setting macros in `Podfile`. Set `PERMISSION_BLUETOOTH` to 1.
+```
+post_install do |installer|
+  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
+    flutter_additional_ios_build_settings(target)
+    target.build_configurations.each do |config|
+      config.build_settings['GCC_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS'] ||= [
+        '$(inherited)',
+
+        ## dart: PermissionGroup.bluetooth
+        'PERMISSION_BLUETOOTH=1',
+      ]
+    end
+  end
+end
+```
