Currently not working in MacOS Mojave

[micksatana]

Hi,

Just to report an issue that it's currently not working in MacOS Mojave due to this issue.

noble/bleno#404

[tokuhirom]

hm... so should we switch to the https://github.com/Timeular/noble-mac ?

I could reproduce the report from micksatana-san about Mojave.
As tokuhirom-san said, we might have to switch 'bleno' to some another one.

I found bleno-mac (this is better for our use than "noble-mac" because "line simple beacon" is a BLE peripheral)
However, this library seems to be under construction, and some methods we need seem to be not yet completely implemented 😢 .

It seems difficult to implement LINE Simple Beacon using CoreBluetooth API.
In the API, the advertisable parameter types are strongly restricted by Apple.
That makes us inpossible to broadcast ServiceData that is used in our LINE Simple Beacon.

Also I have found some similar problems with us (these are for iOS, but the same on Mac I think):

• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35175035
• iOSではEddystoneをAdvertiseできない - iOS can't advertise eddystone signal. koutalou/BeaconRegionManager#4

bleno seems to have avoided this problem by using a technology different from CoreBluetooth.
We are currently looking for the workaround like it ,
It is very heartbreaking, but we can not support Mojave or later until we find it.
