Description
### Description
Today we are asking for Bluetooth permission when we want to enable the LocationSensors. Without this we are disabling the sensor.
Bluetooth in location tracking is only used for high accuracy tracking with some condition like being connected to a given device.
We should be able to enable the location without asking for Bluetooth permission. This would make one less popup during the onboarding of a user. Also the location should continue to work even if the user denied Bluetooth permission.
