Plugin wrapper for the Polar SDK

Note

This is an unofficial wrapper for the Polar SDK. For any questions regarding the underlying SDKs or Polar devices in general, please see the official repository.

Getting Started

Android

android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_SCAN" android:usesPermissionFlags="neverForLocation" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" android:maxSdkVersion="30" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" android:maxSdkVersion="30" />

If you use BLUETOOTH_SCAN to determine location, remove android:usesPermissionFlags="neverForLocation"

If you use location services in your app, remove android:maxSdkVersion="30" from the location permission tags

Podfile:

platform :ios, '13.0'
