+## Set up your machine using a custom Flutter app
+
+The [Flutter Provisioning package](https://github.com/viamrobotics/viam_flutter_provisioning/) shows an example for Bluetooth provisioning.
+
+When developing your own application, if you support both Bluetooth and WiFi Hotspot provisioning, make the app choose the best available method.
+We recommend using Bluetooth by default for a smoother setup experience.
+
+### App Development Considerations
+
+When developing mobile apps with Bluetooth provisioning, ensure your app requests appropriate Bluetooth permissions.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Bluetooth connection issues
+
+If you're having trouble with Bluetooth provisioning:
+
+1. Verify the device supports Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)
+
+1. **Check Bluetooth permissions**: Ensure the Viam mobile app has Bluetooth permissions enabled on your device.
+
+1. **Verify Bluetooth is enabled**: Make sure Bluetooth is turned on in your mobile device settings.
+
+1. **Check device compatibility**: Ensure your mobile device supports Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).
+
+1. **Restart Bluetooth**: Try turning Bluetooth off and on again on your mobile device.
+
+If you can open a terminal on the machine:
+
+1. Check if Bluetooth is available:
+
+   ```sh {class="command-line" data-prompt="$"}
+   bluetoothctl list
+   ```
+
+1. Verify Bluetooth service status:
+
+   ```sh {class="command-line" data-prompt="$"}
+   sudo systemctl status bluetooth
+   ```
+
+### WiFi connection issues
+
+If your machine cannot connect to your WiFi network:
+
+1. **Check network credentials**: Verify that the WiFi network name (SSID) and password are correct.
+
+1. **Check network compatibility**: Ensure your WiFi network is compatible with your machine's WiFi adapter.
+
+1. **Check signal strength**: Make sure your machine is within range of your WiFi router.
+
+1. **Try a different network**: If possible, try connecting to a different WiFi network to isolate the issue.
+
 ## Next Steps
 
 You can now use your machine.
