I am currently developing a xplattform Android/iOS App and evaluating, if iOS devices using RxBluetoothKit can communicate with Android devices running RxAndroidBle from Polidea GitHub?
I already looked through the FAQ, Stackoverflow and Gitter questions, but could not find a precise answer.
I am quite sure, that a communication should be possible, but I'd love to have a confirmation from someone who is not a total noob in BLE like me.
BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy)
is a network technology designed by Bluetooth SIG
and adopted by many platforms (iOS
, Android
, Windows
, etc). The technology is independent of the Reactive Extensions(Rx)
frameworks you mentioned. The Rx
frameworks just supply a FRP(Functional Reactive Programming)
interface to the technology. So RxBluetoothKit
is basically a wrapper around Apple
's Core BlueTooth
framework, providing the Rx
features. According to Wikipedia
, BLE
is supported by iOS 5
and later as well as Android 4.3
and later. You can find the specification here Bluetooth Core Specification V4.0
