Automatically determine the presence of a reader

[HowardParticipant]

Hello,
In the iOS SDK is there a guaranteed way to determine if a reader is present before calling -[Reader startScan]? I have tried requesting the device id but it never returns a value in either case.

Thanks

Hello Howard,

Currently there is no method that directly returns the reader ID. When you say that you “tried requesting the device”, how are you trying to do this? calling the deviceId property of the Reader class? Can you please perhaps post the code so I can understand a little better what are you trying to do?

In any case, I’m including a new method for the ReaderManager that will let you check for a connected Flojack reader, it will be in the next release next week.

Hey Boris,
Thanks for the response. Yes, I am simply calling – [Reader deviceId] assuming that it would reach out to the Flojack device to return that data in a blocking call. But I look forward to the new method in determining this in the ReaderManager. Will there be a thread announcing/making available the new SDK?
