Hi Kenneth, especially since non-M versions of Android will not get it in Chrome, I think it would be great if one could use it through xwalk on older devices! :)
I don't see it as a huge risk if the API changes a bit. It's important to get started experimenting with Web Bluetooth now, which will most probably also contribute to more qualified feedback on the API (anyway). Personally, I'd like to get access to Web Bluetooth on non-M devices now to get some xwalk science experimentation apps out there connecting to external sensors and actuators ASAP. Is there any stability/security issues for people who don't experiment with BLE if you include it? br Lars On Tue, Jan 19, 2016 at 5:09 PM, Kenneth Rohde Christiansen < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi Lars, > > Web Bluetooth is behind a flag in M48 and we are rebasing Crosswalk to M48 > now. > > Chrome will not enable Web Bluetooth on non-M versions of Android, given > that it would require users to accept additional permissions when upgrading > Chrome, but we don't have that problem. > > As it is behind a flag, whether we enable it earlier depends on a few > things, like > > - the risk that the feature affects the stability for people not using Web > Bluetooth > - that users understand that the API is experimental and some changes > might happen in later xwalk versions > - how well the current implementation of Web Bluetooth on Android actually > works and whether it works well on non-M Android versions as well. > > Could you as a user of Web Bluetooth live with the above points? ie, that > the API might change a bit in future versions? > > Maybe we can publish some info on how to build the next version of XWalk > with Web Bluetooth enabled or make a few additional builds > > Cheers > Kenneth > > On Tue, Jan 19, 2016 at 4:56 PM Lars Knudsen <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Hi guys, >> >> we would REALLY like to see WebBluetooth working through xwalk when M48 >> gets done.
