After specifying that my app targets Android SDK 29, I found that devices running Android 10 were no longer able to scan for other Bluetooth devices. It seems that some privacy changes were made in Android 10 making it necessary to have the ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission when using certain Bluetooth APIs.
