Description

While there are plenty of BLE plugins for Capacitor there isn't any I could find for Bluetooth Classic (Bluetooth Core Spec: 3.0)

Glavotaner commented 1 year ago

I've made a Capacitor version of don's plugin , albeit only for Android, specifically in order to handle the new CONNECT and SCAN runtime bluetooth permissions. At bluetooth-serial.

It differs from the original in that methods are now promise-based, not callback-based. Certain methods were also removed but can be added back if need be, such as the ability to subscribe to a stream of data emitted from the connected device; there is a read method that returns data currently in the buffer instead.

Another distinction is that the original plugin was adapted to work on Android 4 devices (a workaround in the connect method); this was removed.

It is not yet battle tested though, I haven't had many opportunities to test it heavily.
