Detect if Bluetooth is enabled about cordova-plugin-ibeacon HOT 4 CLOSED

If memory serves, at the moment there is no way to query the state of Bluetooth on the device nor any way to query if monitoring has the necessary preconditions met in general.

Sounds like a reasonable thing to implement either through the didFailSomething callbacks getting exposed in the Delegate of the DOM, or if that's not feasible, by explicitly providing access to the CoreBluetooth framework's relevant API elements.

If you want something iOS only in theory the peripheralManagerDidUpdateState event would tell you if the device would work for now. Bluetooth is only on when the state is CBPeripheralManagerStatePoweredOn , so if you listen to this event for CBPeripheralManagerStatePoweredOff and CBPeripheralManagerStatePoweredOn states you will get if Bluetooth in on or not. When the Peripheral Manager stats up it also appears to fire an initial state through this event too, so it seems like it would do what you want, it's just not cross-platform, and to make it cross-platform would be pretty straight forward. Lets add a task to add to the library.

Hi Guys,

I'm also struggeling with how to warn the user if BLE is not supported, i.e the plugin is used in an app that gets run on an older Iphone4, i can see the following event is fired
PeripheralManagerStateUnsupported

as there is a console log

peripheralManagerDidUpdateState() state: PeripheralManagerStateUnsupported

any chance we could account for this case as well ? although im not sure what happens when Android doesnt have BLE capability ?

Cheers
