"This debug view expired" #32

Closed davidmaxwaterman closed 7 years ago

davidmaxwaterman commented 7 years ago

Is there some way to make it so the 'standalone mode' works long-term?

  1. visit 'https://whatwebcando.today/'
  2. locate 'bluetooth' and click on it
  3. in the 'live demo' section, click on 'result'
  4. in the right hand section that appears, click on 'in the standalone mode.'

-> codepen opens with a message, "This debug view expired".

I've updated the links to Debug views throughout the website, thanks for noticing. The only way to make it work long-term with CodePen is to upgrade to their Pro plan that I might need to do one day...

Thanks for that. As a matter of interest....why is the BT api not available on desktop browsers when it is available on phones? Know of any discussion/debate on that?

NOtherDev commented 7 years ago

I'm not sure. Here is what I found in Implementation Status page:

The chrome://flags/#enable-experimental-web-platform-features flag must be enabled on Linux and Windows. In Chrome OS, Android, and Mac, the GATT Communication API is available without any flag.

That works :) enables BT and NFC - well, on your web page anyway :) When I try the demo, I get a dialog asking to pair, with a spinner presumably trying to find BT devices...but nothing gets listed....such is experimental :) Thanks!

Great job, btw. Thanks for the site.
