I am having some difficulty sending files over Bluetooth. After it attempts to send the file, it will list the transfer as having 'failed' with an 'unknown file' error. I have double-checked my file path but am still having this problem. Do you guys see anything that I am missing? The target phone that is supposed to receive the file isn't showing the incoming file notification that asks the user to accept it or not. I believe this is where the failure is. Do you guys know how to pass the 'permission asking' (I guess we can call it that) to the target device?
