Hello, In this inquiry(https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/747860), I came across this conclusion.
“Apple disabled TCP/IP networking over Bluetooth completely. Apple’s peer-to-peer networking APIs now run exclusively over Wi-Fi."
I have three questions I would like to ask.
- The Multipeer Connectivity Framework supports Wi-Fi networks, peer-to-peer Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth personal area networks. Since the framework abstracts away the underlying protocols, we cannot specify which protocol to choose. Can this framework still establish a pure Bluetooth connection now? (Not just using Bluetooth for the discovery phase).
- Given that the framework supports Bluetooth protocols, why does it not require Bluetooth permissions but only local network permissions?
- Does the Bluetooth protocol supported by the framework have the capability to discover traditional Bluetooth devices and services that the Core Bluetooth framework can discover?
