Use QBluetoothDeviceInfo. It won't work on Apple platforms, though (as the documentation states).

That's a security feature in Bluetooth 4.0+. You won't get around it (well maybe with some Android-specific APIs, I'm not sure).

Thanks for your reply @sierdzio , Yes android doesn't give MAC address it was removed programmatic access after android 6.0.
