Can't Bind to RFCOMM Socket On Mac OS X

[ghost]

When binding to an RFCOMM socket in Python 3 on Mac OSX with PyBluez I get an error from the following code, self.addr=(bluetooth.read_local_bdaddr()[0].decode,0) sock.bind(self.addr)

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/lib/python3.6/site-packages/lightblue/_bluetoothsockets.py", line 60, in _getavailableport result, channelID, servicerecordhandle = BBServiceAdvertiser.addRFCOMMServiceDictionary_withName_UUID_channelIDserviceRecordHandle(BBServiceAdvertiser.serialPortProfileDictionary(), "DummyService", None, None, None) TypeError: 'int' object is not iterable

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I just merged in significant changes to support on macOS yesterday. What version are you using?

[ghost]

@rgov I'm on Mac OSX High Sierra with PyBluez 0.22 Python 3.6.3.

[rgov]

Can you try installing with

pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/karulis/pybluez.git

to use the latest version? We haven’t released it to PyPI yet.

Hey, still having the same issues after installing the newest version of PyBluez onto MacOS High Sierra. That is after trying to bind to port 0 (only available with Mac) using RFCOMM. Error code:

[rgov]

Both reporters are using Python 3.x. Can you try Python 2.7, to see if it's a 3.x incompatibility or something else?

[ghost]

@rgov I'll try it now.

[FynnMazurkiewicz]

This might just be a typo, but it should be decode() instead of decode.

[rgov]

If it works with the typo corrected, please submit a pull request.

[FynnMazurkiewicz]

Not sure if you mean me, but I don't have an apple device available. Otherwise I totally would.

[ghost]

This is still broken. I tried what Fynn said, but it doesn't fix anything.

[rgov]

It is still broken because nothing has changed. If you have the time to investigate, maybe you can help us get closer to the solution.

[rgov]

Keeping this issue open since I don't think it is resolved.

[diogo-p-nunes]

Is the issue close to being solved? I just printed the returned value by the method BBServiceAdvertiser.addRFCOMMServiceDictionary_withName_UUID_channelIDserviceRecordHandle(BBServiceAdvertiser.serialPortProfileDictionary(), "DummyService", None, None, None) and it outputs a negative integer (-536870212)

[Peanutsmasher]

I can confirm that the issue is not yet resolved.

I tested the examples/simple/rfcomm-server.py with Python 3.7.5 on OS X 10.15.2, resulting in "TypeError: Need 5 arguments, got 3".

[rgov]

Not super useful info: -536870212 is 0xe00002bc which is a general kIOReturnError.

[zellerman]

still happening...

[tigerking]

still not work on Mac Catalina 10.15.2

[tigerking]

fixed in my repo with 2 commits @rgov
https://github.com/tigerking/pybluez/commits/master

the root cause is that the resource profile file (*.plist) can not be loaded on some Mac OSX version for symbol link.

[zellerman]

@tigerking I've tried your fork after python setup.py install-ing it in a clear venv and now I'm getting another backtrace. Is this LightAqueBlue supposed to be installed as well? The 5 year old version from sourceforge no longer works...

ImportError: Cannot load LightAquaBlue framework, not found at /Users/zeller/work/local/virtualenvs/scratch/lib/python3.7/site-packages/PyBluez-0.30-py3.7.egg/lightblue/LightAquaBlue.framework

above issue root cause is missing symbol link for LightAquaBlue.framework, you can either create symbol link manually Or try install from whl file to see if it can solve your issue. I put the whl file at https://github.com/tigerking/pybluez/releases

@tigerking ok, I managed it. I noticed that you have to bdist_wheel it. Didn't work from virtualenv for some reason but after building it in the system python environment, I was able to install the package and IT WORKS! 🦩 Anyway, the wheel name possibly depends on the machine you build. Mine was PyBluez-0.30-cp37-cp37m-macosx_10_14_x86_64.whl not PyBluez-0.30-cp37-cp37m-macosx_10_13_x86_64.whl `

I have the same issue on OS X 11.2. IF anyone can help get pybluez installed and working I'd appreciate it. I get what looks like a successful install, but when I use it i get

    import bluetooth._bluetooth as bluez
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/PyBluez-0.30-py3.8.egg/bluetooth/__init__.py", line 38, in <module>
    from .macos import *

  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/lightblue/__init__.py", line 160, in <module>
    from _lightblue import *
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_lightblue'

I am also getting issues while installing pybluez on OS X 11.2. Any help would be appreciated.

To Install PyBluez you must use an old Python version, I think the last supported version that works is Python 3.7.9, I tried it on Python 3.8 it doesn't work.
