An unknown Bluetooth error occurred during readerManager.startPairing

Questions
1

I am following steps as stated in this link: Build on iOS

I implemented following steps:

  1. Initialize SDK
 MobilePaymentsSDK.initialize(
            applicationLaunchOptions: launchOptions,
            squareApplicationID: <My app id>
        )
  1. Authrorize SDK
authorizeMobilePaymentsSDK(accessToken: <My access token>, locationID: <My location id>)
  1. Start meter pairing
pairingHandle = MobilePaymentsSDK.shared.readerManager.startPairing(with: self)

However on 3rd step I am always getting following error:

An unknown Bluetooth error occurred

As printed in readerPairingDidFail method.

Please note that I am trying it from India.

Are you trying to pair in production? :slightly_smiling_face:

4

Yes, we are trying to pair the devices in production.

5

Have you been enabled to pair it in an unsupported region? :slightly_smiling_face:

No idea, is there any way to do that?

I guess you are pointing that it is not supported in current region. Did I get it right?

If that is the case, why it does not log the accurate error message? ‘An unknown Bluetooth error occurred’ is misleading in that case.

The error your getting is due to something else that the team is looking into. :slightly_smiling_face:

ok

What about:

Have you been enabled to pair it in an unsupported region?

Are there any elevated permissions which are required to pair a device in another region say India?

It’s not supported in India. This is a security feature that’s in place. :slightly_smiling_face:
