About this Repo

This repo contains the NODE Objective-C framework, along with a sample iOS project demonstrating basic NODE functionality.

Want to keep updated? Visit us at http://variableinc.com/

Quick Start

Using CocoaPods:

pod try Node

Compatible Devices

This framework is compatible with any Apple iOS product that is BlueTooth 4.0 low energy enabled. These devices include:

• Apple iPhone 4s and newer
• Apple iPad 3rd Generation and newer

This framework also has beta support for Mac OSX devices with Bluetooth Low Energy.

Cocoapods Support

The preferred way to use our API is with CocoaPods. The NODE+ API is published under the Node pod. There is also a helper class that eliminates most CoreBluetooth boilerplate code published under the pod NodeConnectionHelper.

Getting Started

To get started quickly on iOS, see our Getting Started Guide.

Getting Started Screencast

You can find a screencast to help you get up and running quickly here.

Documentation

The most reliable source for documentation of the API is through the header files included with the framework. The documentation of our API is also hosted on Cocoadocs, but is sometimes not up to date.

Required Frameworks

In order to compile successfully, your application needs to link against the following frameworks:

• CoreBluetooth.framework
• CoreLocation.framework
• libz.dylib
• libsqlite3.dylib
• GLkit.framework
• Accelerate.framework
• SystemConfiguration.framework

iOS Simulator

Apple removed BTLE support for the iOS simulator as of iOS7.

Node Mac Framework

When creating a Mac OSX project using our framework, you must add a Copy Files phase to your build project, and set it up like this:
