What changed · US
Listing changes AppTracker has observed for this app in this storefront — new versions, price moves, rating shifts, and store copy.
Features: • Peripherals that haven't been seen recently are greyed out in the list, so devices that have gone quiet are easy to tell apart from those still nearby. Fixes: • Writing a second or later value to a characteristic no longer crashes the app. • Sending a write while viewing a characteristic no longer crashes when the device confirms it. • Scanning for devices no longer crashes the app when many advertisements arrive at once. • A new device is no longer listed twice when it advertises several times in quick succession. • Successful writes now show the value you sent in the write history instead of an empty entry. • Services a device removes or changes no longer linger alongside the refreshed ones. • The peripherals toolbar no longer crashes when location isn't available. Further: • Peripheral discovery, signal strength updates and received values are now processed on a background actor, keeping the app responsive during intensive scanning. • Location updates now use the modern Core Location live updates API.

About
Discover nearby Bluetooth peripherals and inspect their services for information and characteristics. • View information and signal strength for all peripherals and devices, updating in real time as you move around. • Get battery level for your own Apple devices — no need to install the app on all your devices. • See model identification broadcast by devices around you, mapping device identifiers to the marketing name. • Extract software and firmware version strings from devices broadcasting this information. • Read any characteristic's value, even for services not well known and are custom to the device being interrogated. • Write characteristic values back to the peripheral as string, numeric or hex. • See a history of the value of a characteristic since the session started, timestamped to when the value changed. • Log found peripherals, services, characteristics and values, and export a .log file of timestamped events for your analysis. • Shortcuts integration with actions for scanning and interrogation, enumerating services and characteristics, and reading values. • Background scanning by advertised service IDs with device count mapped by location found and status shown in a Live Activity. Get support @grgarside or georgegarside.com/apps/bluetooth-inspector Constant use of Bluetooth connectivity can drain your device's battery. Bluetooth connectivity is only used when this app is in the foreground and up to a few seconds after being backgrounded to safely disconnect from peripherals being interrogated, unless Background Scanning is enabled in the app and the Live Activity is running.
