Faketooth Flutter Plugin

The Faketooth Flutter Plugin allows you to emulate a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device on iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS targets from within your Flutter applications. This plugin leverages the faketooth library for iOS/macOS/watchOS/tvOS, enabling you to create virtual peripherals with custom services, characteristics, descriptors, and values.

Installation

To use the Faketooth Flutter Plugin, you need to add it as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  faketooth_flutter: ^0.2.1

Then, run flutter pub get to fetch the plugin.

Usage

Follow the steps below to start using the Faketooth Flutter Plugin:

1. Import the package in your Dart code:

import 'package:faketooth_flutter/faketooth_flutter.dart';

2. Set up the simulated peripherals by calling the setSimulatedPeripherals method on the Faketooth singleton instance. Pass in a list of FaketoothPeripheral objects to define the virtual BLE devices you want to emulate.

Here's an example that demonstrates the basic usage:

await Faketooth.shared.setSimulatedPeripherals([
  FaketoothPeripheral(
    identifier: 'E621E1F8-C36C-495A-93FC-0C247A3E6E5F',
    name: "TDP_SIMULATED",
    services: [
      FaketoothService(
        uuid: '0000180A-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB',
        isPrimary: true,
        characteristics: [
          FaketoothCharacteristic(
            uuid: '2A29',
            properties: {
              FaketoothCharacteristicProperties.read,
              FaketoothCharacteristicProperties.notify,
            },
            valueProducer: () {
              return Future.value(Uint8List.fromList('Hello'.codeUnits));
            },
          ),
          // Add more characteristics and services as needed
        ],
      ),
      // Add more services as needed
    ],
  ),
  // Add more peripherals as needed
]);

In this example, we create a single virtual peripheral named "TDP_SIMULATED" with a primary service. The service contains a characteristic with read and notify properties. You can add more characteristics and services based on your requirements.

3. Build and run your Flutter application. Faketooth will simulate the BLE interface and make it possible to interact with your virtual peripherals as if they were real devices.
