Proper iOS 11 support?

[NSExceptional]

Doesn't seem to be work 100% on iOS 11. Is this a known issue / WIP?

[mringwal]

What doesn't work? BTstack on iOS 11 or Bluetooth Companion and BTC Mouse & Trackpad?

BTStack.

It looks like there's a button missing in the top cell. The version on Cydia is 1.1-1, is that the latest?

[mringwal]

The version in Cydia is the last on. The text in the screenshot says that BTstack is enabled automatically (and I remember removing the 'on' button). Could you start some BTstack-enabled app? You could try BTstack GPS Demo to see if a) it works, b) if there's an "OFF" button

Oh, that makes sense. The missing button threw me off, combined with the Controllers For All developer frivolously claiming that BTstack was "abandoned" on Twitter.

If you say it's updated that's good enough for me! Thanks for responding so fast.

Glad it works. FWIW, it hasn't been updated since I think iOS 9. However, no need to update it as long as it works :)

I appreciate your work mringwal! Maybe implement BTC Mouse & Trackpad for ios 11 if BTstack works good?

hello mringwal
can you confirm that the BT stack GPS application is fully operational on IOS 11.1.1. if so how to get it today in view of the difficulties of CYDIA on IOS 11. thank you for an answer

@berunous BTstack itself works fine on iOS 11. However, the BTstack GPS app is currently only compiled for 32-bit, and hence cannot run on iOS 11 (as it's 64-bit only). I'll post here once I get it to compiled (no idea what changed, just re-compiling stuff sometimes becomes tricky)

@nikolaign BTC Mouse & Trackpad does not work on iOS 10 or iOS 11 as something in the Bluetooth Server changed.

first of all thank you for the speed of the answer. So I'm waiting for the result of the compilation in 64 bits for IOS 11. my hardware architecture is as follows a bluetooth GPS brand GLOBALSAT model BT 338 An IPAD air model A1474 in WIFI Only and NAVIONIC navigation application and map NAVIONIC HD EUROPE. Can you confirm that to make all this work the iPad will be jealbroken? Can you tell me the best way currently to have CYDIA on the iPad to be able if it works to buy your application.

Hello
I want to use BT stack but there are two hard points

where is the 64 bit compilation for IOS 11.1.1
Cydia does not currently allow to buy the application

can you communicate on these two subjects. Thank you

[mringwal]

@berunous There is not 64-bit version at the moment (I get compile errors), hence you cannot buy it in Cydia on iOS 11. Once it compiles for 64-bit and works on iOS 11, it will be available on Cydia (if Cydia is available).

I need your application to navigate the wait with impatience. You think to end up under contains time. good luck and good thinking for a flawless compilation.

hello have you completed the compilation of BT-STACK in 64 bits to be compatible IOS 11.1.1? If NO please give us a target date. It is difficult to wait without news of whether the goal will be achieved. and when I'm sure you understand. beru Nous

I don't think he can get that done soon. otherwise,this could be done a while ago.

@mringwal Hey there Matthias, I sent you an Email in hopes to have BTStack updated for iOS 11.

It's nice to see that's already happening, though may I ask, is it possible we get the old BTStack style back? Namely 0.8-3?

The fact we could select between OFF, iOS and BTStack was nice. Maybe have an Automatic AND Manual Mode? I preferred the Manual Mode since sometimes it'd crash, so I'd just switch it back on again.

Thank you so much for this Tweak, I use BTStack to pair my PS3 remote with my iPhone 5S iOS 8,4. ;3

We really hope to could use controller for all app running on iOS 11

how could we account for the number of users of applications relying on BT-STACK and who would like these applications to be compatible with IOS 11 ie that they are compiled in 64 bits. Only the number of users could encourage Matthias Ringwald and if necessary the OPEN SOURCE community to carry out these operations.

[mringwal]

I'd like to repeat that BTstack (the actual stack with the preferences dialog) is compiled for armv7 & arm64 and runs on iOS 11 as far as I know. It provides basic profiles (SPP, L2CAP, SDP) that are sufficient for most use cases (e.g. GPS, HID devices, ..)

My BTstack-GPS is 32-bit only, but that should not stop others from using BTstack in their apps. FWIW, it now compiles for 64-bit, but there's no ETA for an official update.

BTC Mouse & Trackpad is a different issue as mentioned earlier as well and independent from BTstack.

Hello Sir, may I ask if you ever plan to update BTC Mouse & Trackpad for ios 11? This is a really useful tweak for ipad especially when ios 11.3 jailbreak might be release soon. Thank you & have a nice day.

sorry to have irritated you but in the community there are users and develloppers. I am only a lambda user but do not want APPLE to impose the external GPS that he should use on his iPad. This is one of the objectives of OPEN SOURCE. I understand that the base brick BT STACK is operational in 64 bits but that your BT STACK GPS application is currently in 32 bits. I am unable to measure the difficulty of porting from 32 bits to 64 bits but I know that as long as your application BT STACK GPS will not be in 64 bits I could not use my external GPS on IOS 11 future versions. By passing in 64-bit APPLE has killed thousands of applications only develloppers can meet this challenge so that users do not remain under their hegemonic.

So when you say this.. are you saying...
1: PS3 Controllers (HID?) can directly connect to iOS 11 via BTStack from Cydia
2: ControllersForAll (when updated) can be compatible with BTStack for iOS 11

Thank you so far for replies thus far Matthias. We all love your tweak.

Well, close. BTstack can be used to either create outgoing HID connections or provide an HID server. BTstack itself doesn't do that. So, ControllersForAll (or even my abandoned Blutrol) should work when updated for iOS 11. If not, and there are actual issues with BTstack itself, I'll have a look.

Hmm that is weird. I am kind of lost can you help explain this then..?

On my iPhone 5S, I use an app called RetroArch and play PS1 games on it. I use BTStack to link my PS3 remote to the iPhone.

I don't use ControllersForAll tweak, it's not even on my iDevice, yet my PS1 Controller works 100%.

So right now, everything works, except for compatibility with CFA? (Because CFA is old)

Also, I didn't know you created BluTrol. Would you be willing to reboot that if CFA doesn't come back for everyone else? :3 <3

(Perhaps RetroArch has its own kind of button mapping protocol that understands PS3 controller layout, making CFA redundant in this case? )

"BTC Mouse & Trackpad does not work on iOS 10 or iOS 11 as something in the Bluetooth Server changed."

Is the BTC Mouse & Trackpad going to have the update for IOS11? or just discontinue to support?
