WebBLE
Utilities
$1.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Very simple web browser that supports the key web bluetooth javascript APIs, with bookmarks and console log viewing support.
*** Overview ***
Using this app you can navigate to a site written in javascript that can interact with your bluetooth (low energy) devices. This allows you to write your applications for use with devices such as puck.js in a language you are more familiar with (i.e. javascript) and be able to use it from your iOS device.
Use the built-in console viewer to debug issues when running your site on WebBLE.
Security is important for bluetooth device access, and so only sites that use https are supported, and it is not possible to connect to a bluetooth device without permission being granted by the user.
Initially the following key APIs are supported:
- bluetooth.requestDevice()
- bluetooth.getAvailability()
- BluetoothDevice.gatt
- BluetoothDevice.addEventListener('gattserverdisconnected', cb)
- BluetoothRemoteGATTServer.connect()
- BluetoothRemoteGATTServer.disconnect()
- BluetoothRemoteGATTServer.getPrimaryService()
- BluetoothRemoteGATTService.getCharacteristic()
- BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic.writeValue()
- BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic.writeValueWithResponse()
- BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic.writeValueWithoutResponse()
- BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic.readValue()
- BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic.startNotifications()
- BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic.stopNotifications()
- BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic.addEventListener("characteristicvaluechanged", cb)
*** Fixes in 1.7.1 ***
- support iOS 27! 1.7.0 will not launch under iOS 27.
- rework of the internal data passing interface between the web environment and the native environment that may help with certain data edge case issues
- now remembers whether the console view was open last time the app was open and restores it properly (previously the console view always showed at launch)
- tapping the top of the screen to scroll up the web view no longer also scrolls up the console view
