How should App Store listings explain Bluetooth permission usage?

Direct answer

App Store permission wording should tie Bluetooth access to concrete user actions: setup, live status, firmware update, or nearby device discovery. Avoid vague always-on language if the app connects only during explicit sessions. Include screenshots that show why the permission appears. For example, explain that Bluetooth lets the app update a sensor's firmware during setup.
