inateck-scanner-js-sdk

A Inateck BLE Scanner module for Ionic react.

Install

npm install inateck-scanner-js-sdk
npm install @capacitor-community/bluetooth-le
npx cap sync

iOS

On iOS, add the NSBluetoothAlwaysUsageDescription to Info.plist, otherwise the app will crash when trying to use Bluetooth (see here).

If the app needs to use Bluetooth while it is in the background, you also have to add bluetooth-central to UIBackgroundModes (for details see here).

./ios/App/App/Info.plist:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
	<key>CFBundleDevelopmentRegion</key>
	<string>en</string>
  ...
+	<key>NSBluetoothAlwaysUsageDescription</key>
+	<string>Uses Bluetooth to connect and interact with peripheral BLE devices.</string>
+	<key>UIBackgroundModes</key>
+	<array>
+		<string>bluetooth-central</string>
+	</array>
</dict>
</plist>

Android

On Android, no further steps are required to use the plugin (if you are using Capacitor 2, see here).

(Optional) Android 12 Bluetooth permissions

If your app targets Android 12 (API level 31) or higher and your app doesn't use Bluetooth scan results to derive physical location information, you can strongly assert that your app doesn't derive physical location. This allows the app to scan for Bluetooth devices without asking for location permissions. See the Android documentation.

The following steps are required to scan for Bluetooth devices without location permission on Android 12 devices:

  • In android/variables.gradle, make sure compileSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion are at least 31 (changing those values can have other consequences on your app, so make sure you know what you're doing).
  • Make sure you have JDK 11+ (it is recommended to use JDK that comes with Android Studio).
  • In android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml, add android:exported="true" to your activity if not already added (setting android:exported is required in apps targeting Android 12 and higher).
  • In android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml, update the permissions: 
        <!-- Permissions -->
+   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" android:maxSdkVersion="30" />
+   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" android:maxSdkVersion="30" />
+   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_SCAN"
+     android:usesPermissionFlags="neverForLocation"
+     tools:targetApi="s" />
  • Set the androidNeverForLocation flag to true when initializing the ScannerManager. 
    import {ScannerManager} from "inateck-scanner-js-sdk"
await ScannerManager.initialize({ androidNeverForLocation: true });

Note: If you include neverForLocation in your android:usesPermissionFlags, some BLE beacons are filtered from the scan results.

Usage

import {ScannerManager} from "inateck-scanner-js-sdk"

async function connectScanner(){
  try {
    await ScannerManager.initialize({ androidNeverForLocation: true });
    ScannerManager.startScan().then((list)=>{

        }
        ScannerManager.connect(list[0].device.deviceId,appInfo,(value)=>{
