When you build for Android API 34+ (Android OS 16.0 Baklava and higher), a client that accesses LAN servers requires the NEARBY_WIFI_DEVICES permission.

This property controls whether Client checks for this Android permission at APK build time.


Without this permission, the Client will only be able to access remote servers, not ones operating on the same local network.

It is recommended you turn this on if you are creating games – and turn on the permission in Android app properties.

See platform notes.
