Making Connections: Practical Core Bluetooth

on YouTube ↗28m

" summary

Shows a concrete Core Bluetooth workflow: scanning with CBCentralManager filtered by the heart‑rate UUID, connecting, discovering services/characteristics, and decoding the heart rate by reading the second byte of the measurement payload (flags ignored). Demonstrates simulating a peripheral with CBPeripheralManager, advertising the standard heart‑rate service, using a Swift unstructured Task loop to send updates every second, and a pre‑recorded pairing that successfully streams values in real time. Includes plist permission and background tips.
