Qt Bluetooth on iOS

alok_pathak

Hi All

I tried to search for an answer for my query. It seems trivial, but I cant find an answer yet.

I am trying to run a program using Qt Bluetooth on iOS. I am able to use it successfully on MacOS.

But even the most basic feature of code like :

QBluetoothLocalDevice localDevice;
QString localDeviceName;

// Check if Bluetooth is available on this device
if (localDevice.isValid()) {

    // Turn Bluetooth on
    localDevice.powerOn();

    // Read local device name
    localDeviceName = localDevice.name();

    // Make it visible to others
    localDevice.setHostMode(QBluetoothLocalDevice::HostDiscoverable);

    // Get connected devices
    QList<QBluetoothAddress> remotes;
    remotes = localDevice.connectedDevices();
    ui->textBrowser->setText(localDevice.name() + "\n" + localDevice.address().toString());

}

gives me a null vector as the address.

Is there some specific settings needed to run it in iOS. Do I need to add certain flags on info.plist file? Kindly suggest.

For information, I am using Qt 5.7 and xcode 8, programming on a macOS Sierra macbook and building it for iOS10.

Many Thanks
Alok
