Bluetooth connexion on arm Mac #8

Open a-Mo7 opened 2 years ago

a-Mo7 commented 2 years ago

Hello !

I have a question regarding scanner connexion on Mac.

We have an iPad app, and we would like to test the app on an M1 Mac as it does not require any modification on my side.

I faced an issue trying to pair the scanner, I followed the guide to set it in basic mode and pair it in Bluetooth settings, but the app does not get notified when there is a device arrival or removal notification.

I also tried to set it in application mode for iOS devices, as the app is build for iPad, even for M1 Mac, but it did not helped. I managed to open the scanner connection in my AppDelegate without any error but when I scan any code, the text value is written where my focus is on the Mac (Xcode editor most of the time). I would like the app to react to the scanned value like on any iPad but I don't know if it is possible.

As discussed with the support, this is already a known issue on Mac and Mac Catalyst. You also mention that the socket have to be in App mode to use the SDK.

I don't know if this is in your plans, but it could be a great feature to make it work on Mac as well. We have a POS app, and I think I can make sense to have Mac in some cases.

Thanks

Hi @a-Mo7,

A Mac SDK is in our roadmap but we have other items to release first. We'll keep you posted.
