If it does, it would be for network, not location. Per the rules, this isn’t a location api, except it actually is.

Iirc Android has always asked for location to enable Bluetooth, I wonder if there are similar apis there?

Yeah, Apple may want to rethink Network != Location.

There is a setting to allow location for the "Networking and Wireless" system service. I wonder if disabling that would prevent this from working?
