iOS Question PeripheralManager AdvertisingData sent by B4i

[Alberto Iglesias]

Anyone know what is each byte received on MAP when PeripheralManager send the AdvertisingData?

iOS APP

Private peripheral As PeripheralManager
peripheral.Initialize("peripheral")
peripheral.Start("myiphone")

After start AdvertisingData by peripheral.Start("myiphone") I need to know where is the Power byte
to calculate the distance between devices.

Can I get this power byte? or distance?

Android APP

Private Sub Manager_DeviceFound (Name As String, DeviceId As String, AdvertisingData As Map, RSSI As Double)

       '====> NEED TO IDENTIFY AdvertisingData bytes

end sub

I receiving this from iOS app:

Thanks

You are looking for this key: https://www.bluetooth.com/specifica...g.bluetooth.characteristic.tx_power_level.xml

However it is not advertised as iOS doesn't support it: https://developer.apple.com/documen...anager/1393252-startadvertising?language=objc

Ok, thanks... But If don't provide by iOS I need to use just RSSI to calculate the distance, Am i right?

Yes. You can see the code in BeaconParser class.
