Interesting, when looking at it with BLExplr I see it presents a Battery and Current Time service. Are you using iBeacon basically just to discover nearby devices? Pretending to be an iBeacon and then listening for your uuid to wake up the other clients in the area?
It appears to use wifi for the chat once it finds a neighbor, are you using the iOS multipeer API once for the actual chat conversations?
- alexwhittemore 12y agoThe battery and current time service I think is inherent to the iPhone, not necessarily whatever software is running. I've seen that a lot when doing totally unrelated BLE/iBeacon stuff. A... clever combination of CoreBluetooth and iBeacon is used for discovery, messaging is actually handled via data connection. We toyed with some ways to transfer data directly (multipeer and decidedly-not-multipeer), but we haven't used those in this release.
