I have a problem listing all of the devices through IOBluetooth framework. Is there a way to get not only classic, but also BLE devices?
My code is
let ioBluetoothManager = IOBluetoothDeviceInquiry(delegate: self)
var ioDevices = [IOBluetoothDevice]()
...
ioBluetoothManager?.start()
...
func deviceInquiryStarted(_ sender: IOBluetoothDeviceInquiry!) {
print("started")
}
///
//IOBluetoothDeviceInquiryDelegate
///
func deviceInquiryDeviceFound(_ sender: IOBluetoothDeviceInquiry!, device: IOBluetoothDevice!) {
print("found device")
ioDevices.append(device)
scrubber.reloadData()
tableView.reloadData()
}
func deviceInquiryComplete(_ sender: IOBluetoothDeviceInquiry!, error: IOReturn, aborted: Bool) {
print("completed")
}
I know I can do that with CoreBluetooth, but I also need to filter devices to match a certain criteria.
From this answer I know that I can do that, but that answer lacks details. For now I'm just getting the list of classic bluetooth devices.
Could anyone please help?
UPD:
Now I found .searchType method with kIOBluetoothDeviceSearchClassic and kIOBluetoothDeviceSearchLE constants. In viewDidLoad I did the following:
ioBlutoothmanager.searchType = IOBluetoothDeviceSearchLE.rawValue but it still only finds the classic devices.
UPD:
All this time it was working so properly I didn't expect. It filtered all the devices I don't need and I didn't have AirPods to check that.
