AndroidManifest.xml not allowing me to save changes

Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to update the following line in my AndroidManifest.xml directly from the FlutterFlow UI:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_SCAN"/>

to this:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_SCAN" android:usesPermissionFlags="neverForLocation" 

I can open and edit the AndroidManifest.xml file within the FlutterFlow interface, but I’m unable to save the changes. It seems like the code analyzer doesn’t run on this file (unlike custom actions where the analyzer works fine), and the β€œSave” button either doesn’t respond (i.e. it does not highlight as seen in the image).

I’m specifically looking for a way to make this edit within FlutterFlow itself β€” I’d prefer not to rely on VS Code or external editors.

Has anyone managed to successfully add permission flags like usesPermissionFlags="neverForLocation" in FlutterFlow? Is there a workaround to enable saving these kinds of edits?

Thanks in advance for your help!

What have you tried so far?

I tried connecting to GitHub and there is no option to pull from GitHub to connect to the FlutterFlow UI

Downloading code and making the change from there.

Did you check FlutterFlow's Documentation for this topic?
Yes
