[Muehli-dev]

Component/Nuget

BluetoothLE Client (Shiny.BluetoothLE)

What operating system(s) are effected?

• iOS (13+ supported)
• Mac Catalyst
• Android (8+ supported)

Version(s) of Operation Systems

Android 14
iOS 18.2

Hosting Model

• Manual

Steps To Reproduce

`IDisposable notificationSubscription;

var c = await x.GetCharacteristicAsync("49535343-fe7d-4ae5-8fa9-9fafd205e455", "49535343-1e4d-4bd9-ba61-23c647249616");
if (c != null)
{
Debug.WriteLine($"Characteristic found");
if (c.CanNotify())
{
Debug.WriteLine($"Characteristic can notify");
Debug.WriteLine($"Subscribing characteristic");
this.notificationSubscription = x.NotifyCharacteristic(c).SubscribeAsync(async v =>
{
Debug.WriteLine("######################################################################");
}
}
}`

Expected Behavior

Shiny.BluetoothLE.IPeripheral: Information: [Native Method - OnCharacteristicChanged
should always trigger the logic in the subscription.

Actual Behavior

Shiny.BluetoothLE.IPeripheral: Information: [Native Method - OnCharacteristicChanged
sometimes is not firing the subscription for the first OnCharacteristicChanged.

I have not seen this issue before. Are you sending a notification immediately upon subscription? How do I repro this?

Have you tried WhenNotificationReceived & EnableNotification directly?

[Muehli-dev]

Yes, the device i'm connecting with is sending data immediately upon subscription.
I've not yet tried WhenNotificationReceived & EnableNotification.
