[Development] QtBluetooth Reading Advertising Data

[Timur Kristóf]

Hi Chuck,

I asked the same question a couple of months ago.

Take a look at this thread:
http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/interest/2016-June/023287.html

And this bug report:
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-46008

Best regards,
Timur
