iOS 10 always reports bluetooth not enabled

Open Velissel opened this issue 8 years ago • 4 comments

Hi,

I am testing this plugin on iOS 10, however isBluetoothEnabled always returns false, does anyone have an idea?

It works perfectly on my iOS 8.1 device

Thanks

Apple does not let you find out if the user has bluetooth enabled. This is likely a privacy issue. (IMO its nuts.) If you start ranging you get the "General protection fault" type error: "The operation clouldn't be completed. (kCLErrorDomain error 16.)" BUT: iOS displays an alert "Turning on Bluetooth will improve location accuracy." [Settings, OK] (probably only once and not in airplane mode)

For me isBluetoothEnabled() works when I call requestAlwaysAuthorization() and if I have background location authorization set up.

Otherwise, if I call requestWhenInUseAuthorization(), it always return false...

I finally used this plugin to know if bluetooth is enabled or not (works with iOS 10) : https://github.com/255kb/cordova-plugin-bluetooth-status
