bluetooth_cli

A thin command-line binary over bluetooth_core for driving real Bluetooth hardware directly, without Dart or Flutter. It is the quickest way to confirm that BLE works on a host.

Commands

cargo run --manifest-path native/bluetooth_cli/Cargo.toml -- permission
cargo run --manifest-path native/bluetooth_cli/Cargo.toml -- scan [seconds]
cargo run --manifest-path native/bluetooth_cli/Cargo.toml -- info <id> [seconds]

• permission: print the Bluetooth authorization status, requesting it (and prompting the user) if it has not been determined.
• scan: scan for nearby BLE devices for the given number of seconds (default 5) and print them deduplicated and sorted by signal strength.
• info: scan to find a peripheral by id, connect to it, and print its services and characteristics.

From the repo root you can also run a scan via melos:

dart run melos run native:scan

On macOS the first run triggers the system Bluetooth permission prompt; allow it so scanning can proceed.
