aloha-ble-sharing-ios

Bluetooth Low Energy sharing module for iOS

This module is used to broadcast and receive data between iOS devices without pairing. The devices will listen in the background, broadcast/receive data when in range and notify users via a PushNotification.

Usage:

PeripheralController - used to broadcast data.

It uses an array of strings as a data source. It checks for bluetooth permissions and once the bluetooth it's turned on it will start listening for nearby devices. Once a device is in range and has a strong signal, it will start broadcasting the itemes from dataSource array. An end of message (EOM) will be sent after all the messages.

Initialization:

@property (strong, nonatomic)PeripheralController *peripheral; [..]
self.peripheral = [[PeripheralController alloc] init]; self.peripheral.delegate = self; [self.peripheral initManager];

Delegates:

@objc protocol PeripheralControllerDelegate { func bleStarted() func deviceDetected(_ data: String) func dataReceived(_ data: String) func dataSent(_ data: String) func eomSent(_ data: String) }

CentralController - used to receive data

It listens for nearby devices. Once a device was detected it will start listening for messages. It will listen for messages until EOM is received.

Initialization:

@property (strong, nonatomic)CentralController *central; [..] self.central = [[CentralController alloc] init]; self.central.delegate = self;

Delegates:

@objc protocol CentralControllerDelegate { func dataReceived(_ data: String) func eomReceived(_ data: String) }
