>Neither Android nor iOS support [pairing ... via the Out-of-Band method]. I'm not sure this is actually true (unless you're talking about bugs with individual manufacturers implementation on Android?). Both iOS and Android support SSP with OOB key exchange via NFC. There are lots of products that have been available that use this for pairing/connecting, eg: https://www.bose.com/en_us/support/article/pairing-a-device-with-nfc-soundlink-ae-headphones-ii.html https://www.bose.com/en_us/support/article/pairing-a-device-...

Android supports OOB via NFC, but only as a special case. You should just be able to call `createBondOutOfBand()` but the method is hidden: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base.git/+/master/core/java/android/bluetooth/BluetoothDevice.java#888 https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base.gi... I'm pretty sure iOS doesn't support pairing via NFC. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/nfc-speakers-from-apple-you-cant-use-iphone-6-pair-jamie-conyngham https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/nfc-speakers-from-apple-you-c... http://www.informationweek.com/mobile/mobile-business/iphone-6-nfc-radio-limited-functionality/d/d-id/1315778 http://www.informationweek.com/mobile/mobile-business/iphone... So, no, they don't support OOB (except in one limited case on Android).
