Issue descriptionChrome 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) https://www.socketmobile.com/products/series-7/durable/chs-7xi This is the credit card terminal https://www.bluefin.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Bluefin-Nomad-2.0-Data-Sheet.pdf 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. |
