when you use getScanResults() method to get wifi list with android 6.0, you need permission ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION.

In my ionic2 project：

AndroidManifest.xml I used: <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="16" android:targetSdkVersion="22" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW" />

project.properties I used: target=android-23

I can permit ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION.

No authorization dialog box is displayed in other cases.

For Android6.0(SDK >= 23), they have changed the permissions model, now you have to ask permissions manually inside the app as far I know - uses-permission doesn't do anything.

As far I understand, the reason why it works is that you're compiling against targetSdkVersion="22" (Android <= 5.1) which has backwards compability with newer androids as well. If you use that SDK version, your app will have those permissions by default.

You can get the same effect if you add this line to config.xml:

<preference name="android-targetSdkVersion" value="22"/>

for newer versions of Android just use this plugin https://github.com/NeoLSN/cordova-plugin-android-permissions , request / check for the ACCESS_COARSE / FINE permission & in the success callback start the scan. It worked for me @ SDK 25
