No iBeacon data from WatchAdvertisements() about web-bluetooth HOT 4 CLOSED

You will indeed need to use "experimental features" in Chrome to get Bluetooth devices advertisements data as those have not shipped yet.
https://chromestatus.com/feature/5346724402954240 and https://chromestatus.com/feature/5180688812736512 are ChromeStatus entries you can look for to learn more about.

Note that on Android there is an open issue preventing Chrome from receiving advertisements from iBeacon devices because we are telling the operating system we aren't interested in location-related devices as that requires requesting a different permission than non-location-related devices.

Outch, I tried during days and days before reading this answer.
bluetooth-internal didn't show the ibeacon but in my demo using watchAdvertisement I received a truncated (only 7 or 8 bytes of data) event (with the Apple ID in the data)
Do you know how we can bypass this permission ?
thanks !

As noted in https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1296054#c7, as of Android 12 Bluetooth permissions have been extended to include the "neverForLocation" flag.

Chrome includes this flag because the Web Bluetooth API is not intended for determining user location as a replacement for the Geolocation API.

You can read more at https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1324831 as well.

There's no way to bypass this currently.
