[Swift] Directly connect to a device via its mac address

CyrilCyril
in iOS
Hi all,

I have seen how to connect to a device with its mac address on Android like this :

    final BluetoothManager btManager = (BluetoothManager) getSystemService(Context.BLUETOOTH_SERVICE);
    final BluetoothDevice remoteDevice = btManager.getAdapter().getRemoteDevice(macAddr);

    board = serviceBinder.getMetaWearBoard(remoteDevice);
    board.connectAsync().onSuccessTask( ... )

But I'm trying to do the same on iOS (I'm using Swift 3). Is there an equivalent ? I have not seen any detail in the API about connecting directly yo a board.

Thanks a lot
Best

    As far as I am aware, you cannot connect by MAC address on iOS.

    Ok, thanks for the answer. Actually it turns out that it's not really working on Android either (I've tried the freefall sample app on 3 different devices and it never manages to connect, whereas using the start app, making a scan and connecting works correctly) — any input on that ? Do you know where it could come from ?

    Thanks

    I've actually open an issue on that specific problem FYI https://github.com/mbientlab/MetaWear-SDK-Android/issues/13
