Integration with iOS devices over BT

Reach RS2 / RS2+ Getting started
1

We are also interested on this topic. We just tried to connect RS2 with iOS bluetooth without success. So I assume, the devices are still not trusted?
There is a number of cities that are restricted to iOS mobile devices due to IT security policies (let’s not discuss wether this is a good idea, we just have to face this fact). As far as I have found ArcGIS collector does not support TCP-data stream, therefore this workaround does not help in this case.

Is there any news on the this, @egor.fedorov?

Hi @jahn,

At the moment, the Bluetooth position output to iOS devices is not supported.

In the meantime, the only workaround I can suggest is using ArcGIS on Android device or working with another app that supports TCP.

Hi @polina.buriak,

are there any plans for iOS certification (or whatever else is needed for Bluetooth use)?

Best regards,

Hi @jahn,

At the moment, we can’t provide you with any information about plans or ETA regarding this.

Hi Jahn,

We have introduced RX MFi (RX should have the MFi mark on the unit’s bottom), which supports connection on iOS devices using Bluetooth. Here’s our ArcGIS Field Maps integration guide.
