Hi Everyone,
I have a tag scanner that needs to connect to iOS devices via Bluetooth within our app. Currently, we are using ionic 7 and the Bluetooth plugin:@awesome-cordova-plugins/bluetooth-serial/ngx
Using this plugin, we can connect the tag scanner to Android devices, but it doesn’t detect or connect to iOS devices. We tried another plugin, @capacitor-community/bluetooth-le, but this only supports BLE devices with iOS. The device we’re using connects to iOS via the iPod Accessory Protocol (iAP), not BLE. Is there any solution or plugin available in Ionic that would allow our app to connect this device to read data from it on iOS?
Let me know if you need any additional translation or specific terms!
This article points to iAP being restricted to only “vetted accessory manufacturers” so I doubt you’ll be able to use it. Why won’t BLE work for you?
