[Interest] BTLE device discovered on Linux, Windows, and Android, but not MacOS or iOS

[ekke]

in fact I'm using something like this:

<key>NSBluetoothPeripheralUsageDescription</key> <string>$(PRODUCT_NAME) 
uses Bluetooth LE Device (WaiterLock) for easy Login</string> 
<key>NSBluetoothAlwaysUsageDescription</key> <string>$(PRODUCT_NAME) can 
use a Bluetooth LE WaiterLock for Login - esp. if iPad is shared by Team 
Members</string>

sorry - cannot help with macOS - I'm using BTLE only on Android/iOS
