Bluetooth requires authentication with iOS 14 #110

Closed udomoody closed 2 years ago

udomoody commented 3 years ago

I tested with my one iPhone on iOS 12, my other iPhone on iOS 14 and my laptop running win10. Both the iOS 12 iPhone and my laptop connect over bluetooth without any problem but on my iOS 14 iPhone I always got a Pairing Unsuccessful message. I checked the logs on my pi and saw it required a manual authentication. To do this I need to run bt-agent on my pi, then try to connect with my iPhone so it shows a pin code that I have to confirm with yeson the pi.

Does anyone know why this happens for iOS 14 devices apparently?

iOS 14.6 works fine for me. However, I had the same issue with my Android phone. Every other device in my house connected normally, without manual authentication, but that one wouldn't. I have no idea why. After authenticating manually once, it would connect without needing to authenticate again.

I ended up re-installing RPi OS lite and the rpi-audio-reciever script again and it went back to normal, no manual authentication needed for any device again.

Bluetooth pairing with iOS and a PIN does not work, so I reverted back to the Simple Pairing Mode some time ago.
