Beacon and Service Advertisement

rvsrvs commented 6 years ago

When I start a service as follows, LightBlue sees the device and can scan it, but does not see it advertising a service. ScanBeacon does not see the beacon. Should I be able to see both?

        if let uuid = Foundation.UUID(uuidString: "C870EC7D-4EB9-4549-A355-5663EB99D71D"),                                                                     
           let rssi = RSSI(rawValue: Int8(bitPattern: 0xb3)) {                                                                                                 
            let beacon = Bluetooth.iBeacon(uuid: uuid, major: 787, minor: 0, rssi: rssi, interval: 800)                                                        
            print("Beacon id = \(beacon)")                                                                                                                     
            do {                                                                                                                                               
                let _ = try peripheral.add(service: ConfigurationProfile.Service)       // ConfigurationProfile.Service is a correctly configured service                                                       
                do {                                                                                                                                           
                    try peripheral.start(beacon: beacon)                                                                                               
                    print("Vending ConfigurationService = \n\(ConfigurationProfile.Service)")                                                  
                } catch {                                                                                                                                      
                    print("failed to start service")                                                                                                           
                    print("Exception: \(error.localizedDescription)")

            } catch {                                                                                                                                          
                print("failed to add service")                                                                                                                 
                print("Exception: \(error.localizedDescription)")

It should see the beacon. The service should be available upon discovering services, not advertising. The adverting payload is 31 bytes is only enough for the iBeacon.

@rvsrvs Can you give me a compilable project or repo to test with? If advertising is not working properly I will fix it ASAP.

colemancda commented 6 years ago

@rvsrvs Is this on Linux, iOS or Mac? macOS cannot advertise iBeacon.

Raspbian. Sorry been gone all day will construct a small example tomorrow.
