Discovering multiple device types simultaneously

[SimonRosenau]

Summary

Is it possible to discover both bluetooth and internet readers simultaneously? If not, what would be the best UX to choose?

Code to reproduce

iOS version

Installation method

SDK version

Other information

I currently to have the problem, that users need to choose the discovery method in advance, which might be confusing.
Also when trying to switch methods while a connection is attempted the other discovery method fails (rightfully so) with the error of being busy connecting. A cancelable returned from the connect method would help in that case!

hi, sorry for delay getting back to you here. One approach is to display a menu before connecting to the reader to display the supported reader types and then start discovery after that. So the menu would list the supported readers first and then start discovery after the user selects the device.

I tagged this as a feature. We periodically go over the feature tagged items during planning.
