FlutterBle Library is a Flutter package that enables Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) operations across platforms, leveraging MultiPlatformBleAdapter as its native backend. It provides a unified interface for discovering, connecting to, and communicating with BLE devices. Designed for developers building apps that interact with wearable devices, sensors, or IoT hardware, it simplifies cross-platform BLE integration. The library supports essential BLE functionalities such as scanning, reading/writing characteristics, and handling notifications. It is maintained by Polidea and hosted on GitHub for transparency and community contributions.
