My iphone 8 cannot find my printer in bluetooth settings, but the app that the printer came with can as well as other bluetooth scanner apps. Also libraries like react-native-ble-plx and react-native-ble-manager can find my printer. However, the inner mac address that they return is a UUID and not a mac address.
getDeviceList will sometimes find the printer, very random and the inner mac address is also a UUID. Sometimes I can connect to the printer, but it won't print. Other times I get an error connectPrinter: Can't connect to printer D706A718-350E-35A3-1F35-A8EA823B0436.
This is only happening on iOS. On Android, it actually returns a mac address and can print. So is the issue with my printer?
This is the printer I got for testing.
