MacOS support

[divan]

Hi, thanks for the fantastic libs!

On the MacOS FlutterBleLIb currently throws an exception about missing plugin, even if's used with BleEmulator. Would it be possible to be able to use BleEmulator on the platforms without bluetooth plugin implemented (like MacOS or others)?

That would be really helpful and allow to work on UI/login of the app even without real devices or hardware bluetooth stack working.

Thanks in advance for any comments or thoughts on this.

Hi!

This is related to dotintent/FlutterBleLib#579. It boils down to the fact that I don't know what needs to be done to support macOS and a quick Google search for it hasn't really yielded results. I'll try to ask around, perhaps it would be easy to just somehow mark it as supported.

Just to clarify - you're asking about the actual macOS, not iOS simulator on macOS?

I'm developing on macOS as well and, when running the BLEmulator, getting:

Target of URI doesn't exist: 'package:blemulator_example/example_peripherals/generic_peripheral.dart'.
Try creating the file referenced by the URI, or Try using a URI for a file that does exist.

I had to first run flutter packages get. Then got following message:

flutter packages get
Running "flutter pub get" in blemulator_flutter...                  4.6s
Running "flutter pub get" in example...                          2,450ms

After restarting Visual Studio Code, getting the following errors in the console:

# device_details_bloc_provider.dart
The method 'inheritFromWidgetOfExactType' isn't defined for the type 'BuildContext'.
Try correcting the name to the name of an existing method, or defining a method named 'inheritFromWidgetOfExactType'.
# device_block_provider.dart
The method 'inheritFromWidgetOfExactType' isn't defined for the type 'BuildContext'.
Try correcting the name to the name of an existing method, or defining a method named 'inheritFromWidgetOfExactType'.

This SO solution seems to solve that issue.

# updated to following method in above two places:
context.dependOnInheritedWidgetOfExactType() as DevicesBlocProvider

I can submit a pr if you'd like.
