Paired device not being detected by call to Adapter.GetSystemConnectedOrPairedDevices

[JuLights]

same problem, GetSystemConnectedOrPairedDevices() doesn't return anything, but I can see it(ESP32test) in android.bluetooth.BluetoothAdapter.BondedDevices.

Hi @TiisangMguni,

I'm the friendly issue checker.
It seems like (75.00 %) you haven't used our issue template 😢 I think it is very frustrating for the repository owners, if you ignore them.

If you think it's fine to make an exception, just ignore this message.
But if you think it was a mistake to delete the template, please close the issue and create a new one.

Thanks!

I want to summarize the behavior of the Adapter.GetSystemConnectedOrPairedDevices() method with the BLE.Plugin ver. 3.1.0-beta.

var pdList = Adapter.GetSystemConnectedOrPairedDevices();
foreach(var pd in pdList) 
{
    Debug.WriteLine($"Name: {pd.Name} | Id: {pd.Id} | IsConnectable: {pd.IsConnectable} |");
}

On Android it works form me, I get the list of paired BLE devices.

On Windows doesn't work form me, what it works form me is the following:

    public override IReadOnlyList<IDevice> GetSystemConnectedOrPairedDevices(Guid[] services = null)
    {
        string pairedSelector = BluetoothLEDevice.GetDeviceSelectorFromPairingState(true);
        DeviceInformationCollection pairedDevices = DeviceInformation.FindAllAsync(pairedSelector).GetAwaiter().GetResult();
        List<IDevice> devlist = ConnectedDevices.ToList();
        List<Guid> ids = ConnectedDevices.Select(d => d.Id).ToList();
        foreach (var dev in pairedDevices)
        {
            Guid id = dev.Id.ToBleDeviceGuidFromId();
            ulong bleaddress = id.ToBleAddress();
            if (!ids.Contains(id))
            {
                var bluetoothLeDevice = BluetoothLEDevice.FromBluetoothAddressAsync(bleaddress).AsTask().Result;
                if (bluetoothLeDevice != null)
                {
                    var device = new Device(this, bluetoothLeDevice, 0, id);
                    devlist.Add(device);
                    ids.Add(id);
                    Trace.Message("GetSystemConnectedOrPairedDevices: {0}: {1}", dev.Id, dev.Name);
                }
                else
                {
                    Trace.Message("GetSystemConnectedOrPairedDevices: {0}: {1}, BluetoothLEDevice == null", dev.Id, dev.Name);
                }
            }
        }
        return devlist;
    }

NOTE: we need to use BluetoothLEDevice, instead of the current BluetoothDevice.

On iOS I get the following error when I try to call the method .GetSystemConnectedOrPairedDevices()

Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'serviceUUIDs')

    public override IReadOnlyList<IDevice> GetSystemConnectedOrPairedDevices(Guid[] services = null)
    {
        // NOTE: to avoid the null error, instead of using 'null' here, we need to use 'new CBUUID[1]'
        CBUUID[] serviceUuids = null;
        if (services != null)
        {
            serviceUuids = services.Select(guid => CBUUID.FromString(guid.ToString())).ToArray();
        }

        var nativeDevices = _centralManager.RetrieveConnectedPeripherals(serviceUuids);

        return nativeDevices.Select(d => new Device(this, d, _bleCentralManagerDelegate)).Cast<IDevice>().ToList();
    }

Anyway, even if I fix the problem in iOS that way, it doesn't return my paired BLE device, that I can see listed in 'My Devices' under the Bluetooth Settings.

I need help in iOS, in order to get my paired BLE device listed by the method .GetSystemConnectedOrPairedDevices()
