Android Location Permission (Android 8.0+):
The app requests "approximate location" permission due to Android's requirement for Wi-Fi Direct support. FX does not use this information for location tracking. This permission is only requested when using FX Connect.

This update includes minor bug fixes and performance improvements. Update to the latest version for optimal performance.
