BluetoothKit

Apple mostly did a great job with the CoreBluetooth API, but because it encapsulated the entire Bluetooth 4.0 LE specification, it can be a lot of work to achieve simple tasks like sending data back and forth between iOS devices, without having to worry about the specification and the inner workings of the CoreBluetooth stack.

BluetoothKit tries to address the challenges this may cause by providing a much simpler, modern, closure-based API all implemented in Swift.

Features

Common

• More concise Bluetooth LE availability definition with enums.
• Bluetooth LE availability observation allowing multiple observers at once.

Central

• Scan for remote peripherals for a given time interval.
• Continuously scan for remote peripherals for a give time interval, with an in-between delay until interrupted.
• Connect to remote peripherals with a given time interval as time out.
• Receive any size of data without having to worry about chunking.

Peripheral

• Start broadcasting with only a single function call.
• Send any size of data to connected remote centrals without having to worry about chunking.
