As of now, Bluetooth is not officially supported on the Ubuntu platform. For some hacker-level developers, there may be no time to wait. Here’s a way to give it a try. The final platform will support Bluetooth. Libraries will also be installed on the platform.

\

In order to be able to run Bluetooth applications on mobile phones, we must do the following:

\

\

\

The sentence above:

$ sudo mount -o rw,remount /
Copy the code

To make our image read and write so that we can install our Qt Bluetooth library below

We pass the command:

\

$ sudo apt-get install qml-module-qtbluetooth
Copy the code

\

To install the corresponding Qt Bluetooth library.

\

Because Bluetooth is not currently fully supported, there is no corresponding security policy for it. In our test application, we had to adapt the “unconfined” template:

\

bluetooth.apparmor

{"policy_groups": ["networking", "webview", "connectivity"], "policy_version": 1.3, "template": "unconfined"}Copy the code
