HI 😊 I want to create MY OWN APP that will be able to communicate with my customized UWB devices ( UWB CHIP MOUNT ON ARDUINO / RASPERRY PI board or maybe can communicate with airtag / samsung tags /other third parties uwb tags ,too , but however my main purpose is , create my app that will be able to communicate with my customized UWB tag / devices , So I found out that the NEARBY INTERACTION framework that utilizing the UWB U1 CHIP of iphone 11/12 ,* does not provide the API CODE for this 😥 later on , Apple allows the app developer to only create their own UWB DEVICES / TAGs that will be able to communicate / utilize with iphone11/12 BUT ALL OF THE UWB CUSTOMIZED DEVICES / tags FROM THE DEVELOPERS ,-- MUST BE USED WITH ONLY THROUGH " * Find My ( APP ) *** " FROM APPLE under the app developer of Apple program , called * MFi * - MADE FOR IPHONE = https://mfi.apple.com/ -- under this program , * the developers can not create their own uwb app to utilize their own uwb devices/ tags as like me *😥 now there are some of third parties devices such as -Ebikes VanMoof S3 ,X3 model or Chipolo ONE Spot uwb tags or Belkin earbuds that joint MFI APPLE program , however all of them must be used with Find my app ( Apple ), ** they can not create their own app to utilize their own uwb devices So I do not know when will apple provide its uwb API for developers to create their own app to communicate with their own uwb tags / devices I want to create my own app that will be able to get the distance / direction from my uwb devices or maybe third parties devices too* but right now can not because of what I explained above ,in this Apple forum question so if Apple open the UWB API for the app developers access / develop their own ( using - UWB ) apps ,Apple will have more creative UWB apps from creative ideas of app developers So I am asking Apple ,-When will Apple provide the uwb API for the app developers to do such a things as my case ? PLEASE 🥺

Im looking a way to get the distance to an airtag to be able to mesure 3 of them and find an indoor position with a swift app, can some one point in the right direction?

Hello everyone! I want to get distance information between an iphone12 and an android phone that supports UWB. I want to know that is the apple U1 chip is interoperable with Android devices, e.g., Google Pixel 6?

Hi, I'm a computer engineering student and I'm working on my end-of-degree project. For part of this project I need to be able to locate my position within a room of about 5x5m with an error of +-50cm. I think with the airtags placed at known locations like 3 corners of the room and with the distances to those 3 airtags it would be possible to triangulate my position with sufficient precision. For this I think I have to use the Nearby Interactions framework but I can't find how to work with airtags only with other iphones (Peer session) Could someone guide me?

Hi, A recent update of software on iPhone does not seem to work with Nearby Interaction framework. The official sample code works on simulators with 16.4 but not on iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 11. Has anybody found a fix to this?

i wanna use airtag for my project. But ipad doesn’t support u1. But iPhone has U1 chip. So can i use that features?

Hello everyone, I want to create a NISession instance in my code but anywhere I call NISession() the simulator crashes with no error code. I followed the tutorial from apple about NearbyInteraction and downloaded their sample code and even there the NISession creation causes the app to crash. I updated my Mac to the latest version (Ventura 13.1) but this didn't fix the problem neither. I hope you can help me.

Hey Folks, I am a bit stuck on creating UWB session between two iPhones in background mode of the application. The UWB works fine on foreground mode of the application but it doesn't work in background. I get error of invalid configuration and while searching on stackoverflow I get the answer that the discovery tokens are invalid. Can anyone please guide me if someone has done it in background mode. Getting this error: Error: Error Domain=com.apple.NearbyInteraction Code=-5888 “NIERROR_INVALID_CONFIGURATION_DESCRIPTION” UserInfo={NSLocalizedRecoverySuggestion=NIERROR_INVALID_CONFIGURATION_RECOVERY_SUGGESTION, NSLocalizedDescription=NIERROR_INVALID_CONFIGURATION_DESCRIPTION, NSLocalizedFailureReason=NIERROR_INVALID_CONFIGURATION_FAILURE_REASON}

I am developing nearbyinteraction Apps, where the direction is not working in Iphone 14, while it works fine in Iphone 11,12,13.. when I try to check the availability isSupported = NISession.deviceCapabilities.supportsDirectionMeasurement Iphone 14 shows not support. Can anyone know more details?

I found that this is possible on Apple Watch and iPhone devices from Apple's resources, but I haven't seen anything about AirPods and AirTags. I'm wondering is it possible or not.

When will apple release APIs to integrate support for AirTag in developer's apps?

Is there any way to set data such as CH, data rate, and Preamble length?

I would like to know if it is a reason for rejection in app store connect to add the Privacy - Location Always Usage Description permission when the ios developer target is ios 11?

Anyone here who implemented apple nearby interactions I'm continously getting this error and unable to resolve this. I'm getting accessoryData from BLE device chractristics and bluetooth identifier of connected BLE device. let config = try NINearbyAccessoryConfiguration(accessoryData: accessoryData,                                                             bluetoothPeerIdentifier: peerIdentifier) Error: Error Domain=com.apple.NearbyInteraction Code=-5888 "NIERROR_INVALID_CONFIGURATION_DESCRIPTION" UserInfo={NSLocalizedRecoverySuggestion=NIERROR_INVALID_CONFIGURATION_RECOVERY_SUGGESTION, NSLocalizedDescription=NIERROR_INVALID_CONFIGURATION_DESCRIPTION, NSLocalizedFailureReason=NIERROR_INVALID_CONFIGURATION_FAILURE_REASON}

Can I use Nearby interaction to determine the location of 3 or more devices? I learned that by adding a session through the article below, I can interact with multiple devices. My question is, is it possible to make session A connect only with device A and session B only with device B? I've just started studying development, so I don't have a lot of knowledge. Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone know of ways to use the Nearby Interactions API with a Javascript backend application. We have an app that we want to interact with a UWB device but want to wrap the api so in the future we can make it compatible with other phone provider's UWB apis. This is for a personal Senior Design Project, so I would appreciate any help. Thanks!

Can I start a nearby interaction session with an accessory device without first establishing a data link? My team has done UWB development between two Qorvo boards (DWM3001C) but are now interested in bringing in the iOS UWB. We’ve had great success with UWB connections without using Bluetooth between Qorvo boards and I figured that the process would be similar for an iOS device. Going through the documentation, it seems that a data link (typically Bluetooth) is required to start a session. We were hoping to take this out of the protocol all together and hard code the accessory and iOS UWB configurations. Is this possible?

I would like to get the direction value from NISession, from the document, it said "On iPhone, it’s possible to receieve direction for nearby third-party accessories in sessions that enable visionAssistanceEnabled" but i have no idea how to enable it as there is no member belong to NISession, plus deviceCapabilities is only available in IOS 16+ anyone has idea?

Hello Everyone! I Am currently trying out the U1 chip on iPhones using the NearbyInteraction framework. I wanted to ask If there is a way that I can send custom data using the NISession.

Hello! Whether the Nearby Interaction can interact with multiple Third-Party Accessories devices？ I've tried creating a separate session for each nearby object, but only the later session is active. The early session was active at the first, and was inactive when the later session start, I'm sure that each session and accessory has unique discoveryToken... Can someone help me? Thanks!
