Bluetooth Manager App

A simple React Native app to manage and toggle Bluetooth functionality on your device.

Features

• Enable or disable Bluetooth.
• Automatically check Bluetooth status when the app resumes.
• Guide users to Bluetooth settings if manual action is required.

Setup & Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/bluetooth-manager-app.git
   cd bluetooth-manager-app

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Run the app on an emulator or connected device:

   • For iOS:

     npx react-native run-ios

   • For Android:

     npx react-native run-android

4. Ensure necessary permissions are configured in AndroidManifest.xml or Info.plist (e.g., Bluetooth and Location permissions).

Limitations

• Android 13 (API level 33) and newer: The method used to manage and scan Bluetooth devices may not work on Android 13 or newer due to new security restrictions and role-based access introduced in that version. Apps are restricted from accessing certain system-level functionalities like managing Bluetooth settings directly without specific privileges, which are not granted to normal apps.

  • The app's ability to toggle Bluetooth or scan for connected devices may be limited or unavailable on devices running Android 13 or later.
  • Users may need to manually enable or disable Bluetooth through the settings if running on Android 13 or later.

• iOS: Bluetooth can be toggled, but users may still need to enable it manually in settings if it’s off. The app cannot directly manage Bluetooth settings.

Usage

• Use the toggle switch to turn Bluetooth on or off.
• The app will automatically check Bluetooth status when it comes to the foreground and update the UI.
