Add windows 8.1 support #81

Closed mdailor closed 8 years ago

mdailor commented 8 years ago

This branch adds Bluetooth LE support for Windows 8.1 UWP apps on Windows Phone 8.1 and Windows 8.1 Tablets/PCs. Windows 8.1 has a half-baked implementation of BLE that is deserving of its own explanatory section in the README or similar. You can't "discover" a device until you manually pair with it on the Bluetooth Settings page, when you scan for reachable devices you get back a list of everything the phone/PC is paired with rather than things that are actually physically present, when you read a value from a device you get a cached value and the device may not even be out there... that sort of thing. If this branch ends up being part of the official Evothings repo, I'd be happy to write that document. In the meantime, I am working on the Windows 10 UAP/Windows 10 Mobile version which will have much better BLE support (beacons, etc.). It's early days for Windows 10 Mobile (my target platform) and the specs and OS are still in beta and ever-changing, so 1st quarter 2016 would be my guess as to when that version will be solid.
