Without these permissions, WiFi sync features may be limited:
If Location access is denied, the app cannot access the network name. It will display “Connected to WiFi” instead of the actual SSID.
If Local Network access is denied, the app will not be able to discover or be discovered by other devices on the network.
If Firewall access is denied, the app will not be able to accept incoming WiFi sync requests from other devices.
Even if the SSID name is not displayed, WiFi sync can still work as long as Local Network and Firewall permissions are granted and both devices are on the same network.
