iOS WebBluetooth support
Tell us about your feature idea
Implement support for PWAs utilizing WebBluetooth on iOS devices.
Do you have an implementation or a solution in mind?
WebBLE already implements a WebBluetooth polyfill (WBWebView) as a subclass of WKWebView, which leads me to hope it might be drop-in replacement for WKWebView.
The main issue is that the chooser UI for Bluetooth.requestDevice() is functional, but very basic.
Have you considered any alternatives?
I don't see any alternative other than Apple implementing native WebBluetooth support in WKWebView.

Hey! Good idea. Feel free to contribute here https://github.com/pwa-builder/pwabuilder-ios and we can help to test it and add to pwabuilder. Sadly we don't have resources at this moment to actively develop ios-wrapper solution, it's on community driven rails rn.
I expected this based on what I have read. I've discussed with my general manager and we intend to contract someone to do this and contribute whatever comes out of that. No timeframe as yet.
@andrewgoz this is awesome! Let us know if you have any updates around this (:
