allowDuplicates property

bool? allowDuplicates

Whether the operating system should deliver every advertisement it receives, including repeats from devices it has already reported.

Regardless of this setting, the plugin reports each device once when it is first discovered, and again only when its advertised content (name, manufacturer data, or advertised service UUIDs) changes during the scan. A change in RSSI alone never produces another report. A result that omits a field, such as an advertisement received without its scan response, keeps the value last reported for that field.

This setting controls how often the plugin can notice such changes:

• iOS / macOS: When true, CoreBluetooth delivers every advertisement packet, so content changes are noticed promptly. When false or null (the CoreBluetooth default), CoreBluetooth coalesces repeated advertisements from a device, and later content changes may be noticed late or not at all. Delivering every packet increases power use.
• Android: No effect. Android always delivers repeated advertisements to the plugin.
