Swift-LightBlue is the tool written in swift for the developers to know the most features of CoreBluetooth. It also can help developers who design the bluetooth to debug hardware. On the other hand, it also can simulate a bluetooth hardware to use. It is built on the top version of the CoreBluetooth. This project is heavily inspired by the popular LightBlue. Most of features will be implemented in this tool. If some quetions accurs on you about interfacing with Bluetooth, maybe this tool can help you find some questions. The tool is still in development, if you occurs some quetions, please issue me.
Finally, if you like this project, please star it.
Features(Developing)
The LightBlue has two mode, Central and Peripheral.
The device as central:
- Scan the nearby peripherals and show some basic information of the peripherals.
- Obtain the advertisement data.
- Connect the peripheral and interrogate it.
- Discover all the services and characteristics.
- Decode the characteristic and service properties.
- Read the data from the peripheral.
- Write the data to the peripheral.
- Monitor some actions from the
CoreBluetooth.
The device as peripheral:
- Add new virtual peripheral which is standard service in Bluetooth Developer Portal.
- Manage service for the virtual peripheral.
- Clone the connected peripheral.
- Simulate the bluetooth hardware work process.
Common:
- The log of the central or peripheral events.
- Share the app to others.
Requirements
- iOS 9.0+
- Xcode 7.0 or above
- Bluetooth 4.0
Future of Swift-Bluetooth
Presently, this project is developing for iOS, but I want to abstract a convenience bluetooth module for all platforms. Then I will send the module to the Cocoapods. Finally, I will add more functions for the bluetooth developer to debug the program not only for the software, but also for the hardware. So if you have ideas please contact me.
