IOS14 - Local Network Scan Request

JiveDutch

Hi TP.

With the new IOS 14 version STT is now asking for acces to my local network .
I believe it came up when i clicked an ad-warp , but the app requesting the permission was " Star Trek Timelines"

Why does the game want to scan my local network ????

I've inquired about this, once I know more I will let you know.

This first started to happen with iOS 13.0, this time it’s ad networks asking for information they shouldn’t need to know. I would get it under Bluetooth permissions, stores can track you if it’s turned on.

You should be able to deny this request without any loss of functionality in the game.
