Android app running in ChromeOS (ARC / Android Runtime Chrome) cannot connect to serial Bluetooth device (SPP)

Reported by d...@patronmanager.com, Dec 21 2017

Issue description

Chrome Version: 62.0.3202.97 (Official Build) (32-bit)
Chrome OS Version: 9901.77.0 (Official Build) stable-channel kevin
Chrome OS Platform: Samsung XE513C24
Network info: irrelevant; multiple wifi networks

 Cr-Platform-ARC or Platform>ARC 

We are application developers of an Android app that allows businesses to sell tickets and accept credit card payments via a Bluetooth-connected payment terminal. Also, a separate Android application allows businesses to scan barcodes for gated entry. Both the credit card reader and barcode scanners are integrated via their native SDKs into our Android app (they don't use HID or keyboard emulation -- both are SPP, from what I understand) and when these Android apps run on ChromeOS, the pairing process fails to see them as devices

This is an example of the barcode scanner (we run in SPP mode for various reasons even though it does actually support HID)

This is the credit card terminal

Steps To Reproduce:
(1) Purchase a serial Bluetooth device such as the Anywhere Commerce Nomad 2.0 credit card reader or the SocketMobile barcode scanner
(2) Attempt to initiate pairing 


Expected Result: Expected to detect the devices

Actual Result: No devices are found


Should it be expected that any type of Bluetooth device that's accessible to a standalone Android device should be accessible when running in ARC?

From mcchou:
Chrome OS BT does not support SSP (Serial port profile). As a result, ARC++ doesn't support that as well.

Marking as won't fix, unless there is a plan for bringing SSP profile to Chrome OS.
I'm having trouble understanding  Issue #443549  https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=443549

It sounds like SPP is supported in ChromeOS according to that report.
