Support for advertising #28

Open kroese opened 9 years ago

Currently the library supports master/scan/central role, but not the slave/advertise/peripheral role.

Android supports this in the 5.0 (Lollipop) preview, so Xamarin should support it too.

This project is open-source ~ we have already had some great contributions from the community.

Note that this project is intended to a cross-platform library that abstracts a BLE API so that iOS, Android, and Windows Phone can use it. Therefore any functionality that is surfaced needs to be available on all three platforms.

I'm not aware if the slave/advertise/peripheral role is already present in iOS and Windows Phone... but if it is only available on Android 5.0 and newer, that still severely limits its usefulness in the short term.

Not clear to me if this has been implemented yet? I know for a fact that iOS and android support the peripheral mode now. Can someone please clarify?
