Simple iOS Bluetooth Data Transmission Using Unity

Simple iOS Bluetooth Data Transmission Using Unity

those are upwards or $50

No, they are not. Here is a Bluetooth plugin for Android and iOS for $10.

The rule goes like:

If you are one person, use that. You will save yourself time. If you are working for a company, you should make your own plugin.

is there a good tutorial for this that I can follow?

If you decide to make your own Bluetooth plugin, you must first learn Java. Make a simple Android Java Bluetooth program and test it on your Android device. If it works, then you can then simply convert it into a plugin by seperating the code into functions such as bluetoothInit(), bluetoothConnect(), bluetoothSend(), bluetoothReceive(), bluetoothDisconnect(), bluetoothClose(). Then compile it into a plugin (jar or aar) file. You can now call the functions from Unity C#.

Learn Android Bluetooth API.

Links on how to call Java functions from C# in Unity. I suggest you follow the first link.

EDIT:

For iOS, you need to learn Objective-C. Learn iOS Bluetooth API then make a plugin.

Unity3D for iOS and Android: Multiplayer (Bluetooth Connection)

For Ships N' Battles (a cross platform multiplayer game Unity authored) we have built several ways to perform a multiplayer game:

via Bluetooth (using Prime31 plugin)

• iOS

I've never seen a game with multiplayer between iOS and Android using Bluetooth.

via LAN (using Unity RPC)

• iOS
• Android
• Mac
• Web (Kongregate)

The players can start combats in a Local Area Network with any of above devices: iOS vs iOS, iOS vs Android, Android vs Mac, and so on.

via Game Center (using Prime31 plugin)

• iOS

Uses the Game Center multiplayer to match combats.

via Global Server (an in-house solution)

• iOS
• Android
• Mac
• Web (Kongregate)

The players can start combats around the world with any of above devices: iOS vs iOS, iOS vs Android, Android vs Mac, and so on.

For this solution we have built a online server, but you can use something like Photon.

tranfer file via bluetooth to iphone using 32feet

I walked away from this for a while. and started Trying to use xamiren but then had to create a virtual Mac so that I could have the apple store to just load software on my phone. From there xamerin 'should' work well but its another field and tons more to firgure out.

Android / iOS Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) communication with multiple Services

I realized that it was all about the length of two or more 128bit UUIDs being added. Adding one 128bit and one 32bit UUID worked fine.
