I have an iOS app that is connecting to a device (arduino) using a BTLE. Everything is working fine on my iPad iOS 7. After upgrading to iOS 8, the CBCentralManager is not finding any peripherals.
- (void)startScanningForSupportedUUIDs
{
[self.centralManager scanForPeripheralsWithServices:nil options:nil];
}
I don't know what can be the problem.
I have the solution, for some reason in iOS 8 there is some delay after instantiate your CBManager. You need to start to scan when the CBCentralManager is on, in this method:
-(void)centralManagerDidUpdateState:(CBCentralManager *)central{
switch (central.state) {
case CBCentralManagerStatePoweredOff:
NSLog(@"CoreBluetooth BLE hardware is powered off");
break;
case CBCentralManagerStatePoweredOn:
{
NSLog(@"CoreBluetooth BLE hardware is powered on and ready");
NSArray *uuidArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:[CBUUID UUIDWithString:TRANSFER_SERVICE_UUID], nil];
NSDictionary *options = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:[NSNumber numberWithBool:YES] forKey:CBCentralManagerScanOptionAllowDuplicatesKey];
[centralManager scanForPeripheralsWithServices:uuidArray options:options];
}
break;
case CBCentralManagerStateResetting:
NSLog(@"CoreBluetooth BLE hardware is resetting");
break;
case CBCentralManagerStateUnauthorized:
NSLog(@"CoreBluetooth BLE state is unauthorized");
break;
case CBCentralManagerStateUnknown:
NSLog(@"CoreBluetooth BLE state is unknown");
break;
case CBCentralManagerStateUnsupported:
NSLog(@"CoreBluetooth BLE hardware is unsupported on this platform");
break;
default:
break;
}
