Question

Hi, I am stuck at my MVP process. Can this library be used to detect nearby users/devices that are running the same application?
For example, device A sees device B and vice-versa? Or does the Android/iOS have rolling bluetooth identifier that cannot be tied to a specific device for identification?

Hi @lsimunec

It’s not possible to function as a peripheral, so the app you are creating won’t be able to advertise itself and therefore won’t be visible to other devices. Similar question

Hi @intent-kacper-cyranowski,

thanks for the info.
