could not I use bluetooth in ios?

Answer 1

Hello,

The API provided by Permissions is suitable for applying for some permissions that need to be applied dynamically at runtime.

On the iOS platform, Bluetooth is not a runtime permission. You need to put the statement of the application permission into the Info.plist file to use the Bluetooth feature.

<key>UIBackgroundModes</key>
<array>
    <!--for connecting to devices (client)-->
    <string>bluetooth-central</string>
    <!--for server configurations if needed-->
    <string>bluetooth-peripheral</string>
</array>

<!--Description of the Bluetooth request message (required on iOS 10, deprecated)-->
<key>NSBluetoothPeripheralUsageDescription</key>
<string>YOUR CUSTOM MESSAGE</string>

<!--Description of the Bluetooth request message (required on iOS 13)-->
<key>NSBluetoothAlwaysUsageDescription</key>
<string>YOUR CUSTOM MESSAGE</string>

Best Regards,

Alec Liu.
