I am writing an app for checking attendance on a classroom via bluetooth. It works just fine so far, I have been testing with my Macbook, iPad, Apple TV. And I get their name, such as: "Eduardo's iPad, Apple TV, Eduardo's Macbook". The problem is that yesterday I tested it on a mall, and all I got was a bunch of "unnamed" devices. That's going to be a problem on the classroom as well.
I am also getting an id, but I don't know how to identify that id on the iOS or Android device, this are the kind of objects I get when I scan:
{
id: "2BD5D5A7-EF50-B4F4-D4FD-9A8413006D4B",
rssi: -24,
advertising: {
kCBAdvDataIsConnectable: true
},
name: "Eduardo's iPad"
}
Please notate that the id I get here is 2BD5D5A7-EF50-B4F4-D4FD-9A8413006D4B
, but if I go on my iPad to Settings/General/About/Bluetooth the id shown there is F0:D1:A9:E3:F9:E9
.
So, can I get the short id from the long id somehow? Or, is there a way to get that long id on iOS or Android using their graphic interface? Thanks in advance.
