Is there any Bluetooth Low Energy sample applications for Windows 10 universal platform? Please help me.
Bluetooth GATT is for BLE on UWP apps. There are sample code in the official document for three common GATT scenarios: retrieving Bluetooth data, controlling a Bluetooth LE thermometer device, and controlling the presentation of Bluetooth LE device data.
Besides, you can also refer to the BLE GATT Sample for Iot.
Though these are all official information about using BLE for UWP apps, I believe there are also many samples on internet written by other developers, you can search for them.

I'm exploring a possibility to emulate Bluetooth TV remote control. And I faced a problem that I can't find any information about the type of Bluetooth, which TV manufacturers use in their devices. If they use Bluetooth Classic (BR/EDR), then I have to implement either AVRCP or HID profiles to fulfil TV remote control functionality. If they use Bluetooth LE, then I have to implement HOGP profile. So, could you suggest to me which Bluetooth profile is mostly implemented in modern TVs with Bluetooth support? If someone has experience with a particular TV model, which supports Bluetooth, then I will be also appreciated for any information about Bluetooth, which is installed there.
I'm working on university project that consists in audio speaker with bluetooth connected to mobile application.
I search a lot possibilities and bluetooth modules that comply my needs, but I have not found any module. I need a Bluetooth module that can receive audio and work in iOS and Android, but I see that a lot of modules with Classic Bluetooth (lowe than 3.0) do not work with iOS, but 3.0 and 4.0 version works with both but are not oriented in audio.
I'm looking for if someone can help me finding one kit with audio receive bluetooth for all plataforms intended for speaker and cheap. Or separately one bluetooth module receiver with 3.0 or upper version (because works in iOS), intended for audio streaming to an speaker, and with some UART pins (tx/rx for example) that can simplify the connection with a microcontroller. And one basic microcontroller oriented to bluetooth receives (with some bluetooth libraries) or simply to program with upp-level language. This microcontroller just receive the audio (bits) and send it to the speaker.
I read too that Smart Bluetooth or Bluetooth Low Energy works on iOS, but can't send audio, have small rate, but i think Smart Ready Bluetooth its possible, but not sure, I have just seen that supports Classic Bluetooth (oriented to audio) and Bluetooth Low Energy, it's possible sens audio with it?
In short, I'm looking for one module Bluetooth 3.o or 4.0 + EDR (that can send audio) for iOS and Android. I find HC05, CC2506X, or HC06 module, but I have read not works in iOS. And a basic microcontroller simply to program to receive this bluetooth audio to send in a speaker.
If someone know one basic kit, or useful information for me I would appreciate.
Thanks.
There is a bluetooth module BC127. it is available at Sparkfun. It dual mode. Means It can work as source and sink both.
Source means, It can Transmit Audio
Sink means, It can receive Audio
Here is link for https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/understanding-the-bc127-bluetooth-module
Any Bluetooth module that acts as an A2DP Sink should work with both iOS and Android.
The specific Bluetooth version that the module implements is not important (as long as it's higher than 2.1), but it needs to be an A2DP Sink (which is only possible over classic Bluetooth)
Does Apple allow dual mode BLE connectivity in iOS? It seems that if BLE iOS apps could communicate to dual mode Bluetooth devices in BR/EDR mode, one wouldn't need to join the MFI program.
The CoreBluetooth library allows communication with a BLE peripheral using the GATT profile only.
The use of other profiles (aside from generic HFP/A2DP/AVRCP which is supported by AVFoundation and keyboards which have native HID support) requires going through the MFI program. So for example SPP.
And yes, iOS does not prevent using BLE for data communication while using an audio profile to the same device at the same time.
As of iOS 13 you can connect to both BLE and BR/EDR with CoreBluetooth, as introduced here.
I am trying to read serial data over Bluetooth LE but can't find any code examples for this type of bluetooth and api19. Does any one have an example?
There is no profile defined for serial data communication over Bluetooth Low Energy till now. For this one can use the Bluetooth classic only.
In any case, Android devices can not broadcast for advertising packets. They can only scan the advertising packets. Hence, these devices will be in Central mode only. But can act as either server or client.
For Bluetooth chat related app example one can refer Android SDK as,
sdk/samples/android-19/legacy/BluetoothChat
The above example is based on Bluetooth classic based on RFCOMM channel for serial communication.
Android 5.0 let mobile to be peripheral. So chat will be possible:
https://developer.android.com/about/versions/android-5.0.html
Bluetooth Classic got the SPP profile. This is not how Bluetooth Low Energy works.
In BLE you have 1 or more Services each with 1 or more Characteristics which are basically just bytes in a predefined format which by default can be max 23 bytes.
To send data from one device to another one must be the Master and the other must be Slave.
Android API19 does not support the Slave (Peripheral) role, it seems Google still doesn't understand the importance of Bluetooth Low Energy. It's so much more than just Pulse-readers.
You can send from an Android API19 phone to e.g. an iPhone which can be Slave/Peripheral.
You cannot send from an Android API19 phone to another API19 phone. For this you must use Bluetooth Classic SPP profile.
Has anyone used bluetooth communications from an iOS device to an Arduino?
The documentation for the MonoTouch 5.0 release mentions a new Bluetooth interface, but I can't find a single piece of documentation in the API docs.
"Bluetooth
Using the MonoTouch Bluetooth APIs you can easily access and communicate with external Bluetooth hardware devices and accessories."
Look in MonoTouch.CoreBluetooth.
That said, iOS only has support for Bluetooth LE (BLE, Bluetooth 4.0 and Smart Bluetooth), not the regular Bluetooth, which is only available under a special partner program with Apple.
