JBV1 requires an ESP-enabled V1 (Bluetooth dongle required) or V1 Gen2 (Bluetooth built-in) Radar Locator.
For V1s prior to V1 Gen2, JBV1 also requires one of the following Bluetooth adapters in order to talk to your V1:
* V1connection
* V1connection LE (recommended)
Both of these Bluetooth adapters are available from Valentine Research Inc.
Permissions:
* MODIFY PHONE STATE is used only to enable your device's speakerphone in some "force speaker" use cases.
* READ PHONE STATE is used only to detect when your device is in a phone call, for improved suppression of alert audio while in a call. No information about a call is ever read, saved, or transmitted.
* RECORD AUDIO is used only for optional voice control.
JBV1 includes an optional Accessibility Service that is used to provide the following optional automation:
* Splitting your screen after app startup or with voice control (Android 7+)
* Locking your screen during app shutdown (Android 9+)
* Taking a screenshot with voice control (Android 9+)
This Accessibility Service is not required and is disabled by default.

What is an XAPK file, and what should I do if the JBV1 I downloaded is an XAPK file?
Open up
A file with .xapk extension is a compressed package file. It is a container file format that incorporates APK and additional associated files required for the installation.
The XAPK format was introduced to package the APK file and OBB file together for a seamless delivery and installation process.
XAPK format can help reduce the package size of application.
On mobile phones, users need to install the XAPK installer first, and then install XAPK files through that installer. You can find the installer here:https://apkcombo.com/how-to-install/. But on PC client, you just need to put the file on LDPlayer.
Can I play JBV1 on my computer?
Open up
Yes, you can play JBV1 on your computer by installing LDPlayer, an Android emulator. After installing LDPlayer, simply drag and drop the downloaded APK file into the emulator to start playing JBV1 on PC. Alternatively, you can open the emulator, search for the game or app you want to play, and install it from there.
