BleOta

Graphical application for upload firmware over Bluetooth.

Fully works on Android and iOS. For other OS it depends on flutter_reactive_ble library.

ble_ota_app's Issues

Add manufacture characteristic and regenerate uuids

In order to allow creators to fully control update their devices (add and remove devices additionally), decided to add manufacture characteristic.
It was a hard decision but UUIDs was regenerated to new ones, because we have to add additional one for manufacture characteristic that looks similar to existing ones.
Regenerated more UUIDs in order to avoid such situation in future.
Better to do it now until production devices were released.
