I have an app that utilizes BLE to scan and connect to our devices. I noticed that once we updated to iOS 16.4.1 that kCBAdvDataLocalName is no longer returned in the scan result.
Here is the result of a scan with an older version of iOS where kCBAdvDataLocalName is returned as part of the scan:
advertising = {
kCBAdvDataIsConnectable = 1;
kCBAdvDataLocalName = test1;
kCBAdvDataServiceUUIDs = (
"832AE7FE-D3C5-11E4-B9D6-1681E6B88EC1"
);
kCBAdvDataTxPowerLevel = "-2";
};
id = "29C7EF76-9CAA-6B8B-A14A-AFA1045A69AF";
name = "Hickory ";
rssi = "-85";
state = disconnected;
}
When using a device that has been updated to 16.4.1 kCBAdvDataLocalName is no longer present:
advertising = {
kCBAdvDataIsConnectable = 1;
kCBAdvDataServiceUUIDs = (
"832AE7FE-D3C5-11E4-B9D6-1681E6B88EC1"
);
kCBAdvDataTxPowerLevel = "-2";
};
id = "DBC2205A-AB82-D6A5-6D71-4CB132615472";
name = "Hickory ";
rssi = "-90";
state = disconnected;
}
Anyway to get this functionality back? Workaround?
We use the local name in our scan list to differentiate the devices we can connect to.
