<img src="icon_small.png" width="71" height="71"/> Bluetooth LE plugin for Xamarin & MAUI

Build status: Build status

Xamarin, MAUI and MvvMCross plugin for accessing the bluetooth functionality. The plugin is loosely based on the BLE implementation of Monkey Robotics.

Important Note: With the term "vanilla" we mean the non-MvvmCross version, i.e. the pure Xamarin or MAUI plugin. You can use it without MvvmCross, if you download the vanilla package.

Usage

Sample app

We provide a sample Xamarin.Forms app, that is a basic bluetooth LE scanner. With this app, it's possible to

  • check the BLE status
  • discover devices
  • connect/disconnect
  • discover the services
  • discover the characteristics
  • see characteristic details
  • read/write and register for notifications of a characteristic

Have a look at the code and use it as starting point to learn about the plugin and play around with it.

How to build the nuget package

  1. Build

    Open a console, change to the folder "dotnet-bluetooth-le/.build" and run cake.

  2. pack the nuget

    nuget pack ../Source/Plugin.BLE/Plugin.BLE.csproj

    nuget pack ../Source/MvvmCross.Plugins.BLE/MvvmCross.Plugins.BLE.csproj
