Hey @aritchie ,
This issue was created a few days after the last set of changes for Shiny.BluetoothLE for Windows. Do you recall why Scan and other such methods were changed to throw NotImplementedException?

Regarding what you wrote here,

Some methods may have to become async to deal with windows API

Has this changed since Shiny v3 release or is the methods you are talking about the internal Windows ones?

Yes because I haven't evaluated all of the API changes yet. I'm not just copying things one-to-one over.

I'm not sure yet. This isn't finished.

All good. Thanks for the update on where it's and and why it's at that state.

Hello @aritchie ! Though StopScanning is not implemented in windows, should the bleManager.Scan find any devices on Windows? I have this working on iOS, and Android (MAUI Project), but on Windows it doesn't find any device. going through the docs I can't find any specific setting, am I missing something or it is not supposed to work? Best regards and thanks for the great job !

@bcaceiro The docs don't say anything because windows isn't supported anywhere in Shiny yet. That is the whole purpose of this feature request. If you want to know the specific status, you can follow the source code or wait until I mark this ticket

Any update on whether windows is supported now?

[aritchie]

Please refer to the source code & nuget packages for updates.

Currently, I only keep Windows support for my customers. I may open source it at a later date.
