Multipeer Connectivity hasn’t worked over Bluetooth for 10-ish years. On modern systems its peer-to-peer support is based entirely on peer-to-peer Wi-Fi. Historically, Multipeer Connectivity wasn’t the only option for accessing peer-to-peer Bluetooth. Even after peer-to-peer Bluetooth was no longer enabled by default, you could still access it via lower-level APIs or an explicit opt in [1]. However, that’s not been the case for a long while also. At some point we disabled the opt in [2] and eventually we removed the implementation entirely. My general advice is that you: Not use Multipeer Connectivity at all. See Moving from Multipeer Connectivity to Network Framework Forget about peer-to-peer Bluetooth, and rely on either peer-to-peer Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi Aware. However, I wanted to address your case specifically: [quote='809565021, AppDevVa , /thread/809565, /profile/AppDevVa+'] We have a requirement for device-to-device communication … without requiring Wi-Fi connectivity.
