LinkOS Xamarin iOS bluetooth connectivity
Audience
I am having trouble connecting to ZQ520 via bluetooth using its MAC address. It is a Xamarin iOS project and the same piece of code works on Xamarin Android. The device I am using for testing is an iPhone XS running iOS 12.2. I keep getting the following error when I try to open a connection. I have updated info.plist according to the LinkOS guide.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

The attached link doesn't
The attached link doesn't produce the screenshot of the error. Can you re-attach the screenshot?
You cannot use MAC address to make a connection with iOS. For iOS, you have to use the name of the Bluetooth, which is the friendly_name on Zebra printers, in order to make a connection. The default value of the friendly_name is the Serial Number of the printer. The value can be changed and queried via the following SGD commands.
! U1 getvar "bluetooth"
! U1 setvar "bluetooth" "new_name"
