Android 8 / 9 Location Permission Notice
* NOTE: Android 8.0+ unfortunately required us to add the
“approximate location” permission as it’s now required for apps
that support Wi-Fi direct (because Wi-Fi direct leaks this
information). FX does not ever actually query your location and
this permission will only ever be asked for on Android 8.0 and
later when using FX Connect. This requirement previously applied
only to Android 9.0 but because FX now specifies full support for
the latest Android API Android 8.0 also requires this permission.
