NSBluetoothAlwaysUsageDescription required, but bluetooth is not used

Question

In my ios app with new Xcode 11 GM Seed 2 after deploy, apple returned error: ITMS-90683: Missing Purpose String in Info.plist with NSBluetoothAlwaysUsageDe

Answer 1

In my case, I wasn't using any bluetooth related API but app was crashing because of this. And I found out that Google Mobile Ads was using bluetooth. I made sure of this by removing it from pods and rerunning the app. (I think we all should ask Google to why they need bluetooth to show mobile ads)

Anyways, you can stop your app from crashing by adding NSBluetoothAlwaysUsageDescription to your plist for now.
