This is my first Ionic app so I suspect this is simply an operator error. That said, this operator can’t find the problem so am reaching out to this community for help.
The community pluggin in use:
https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/bluetooth-le
Works fine on iOS (iPhone X and iPad Pro 2017) in debug mode.
Android ( Pixel 4a & Motorola G Power) give the following run time error while debugging:
2021-04-29 12:50:49.042 3941-3941/net.xyzzy.net.gamecenter I/cr_Bluetooth: ChromeBluetoothAdapter created with provided adapterWrapper.
2021-04-29 12:50:49.112 3941-3941/net.xyzzy.net.gamecenter I/Capacitor/Console: File: http://localhost/static/js/main.80cdfffa.chunk.js - Line 1 - Msg: >>> BleClient.initialize() called: result: TypeError: navigator.bluetooth.requestLEScan is not a function
It looks like it’s trying to use the bluetooth support builtin into Chrome instead of using the plugin on Android. What I do notice is the import statement I use:
import { BleClient } from '@capacitor-community/bluetooth-le';
also offers other types such as BluetoothLe so maybe BleClient isn’t the correct object to be calling these static methods on?
Here’s the cap sync output if that’s helpful:
