Bluetooth Transport Requirements
|
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) transport for the Multipeer P2P Replicator requires Android API 29 (Android 10) or later, due to the availability of BLE L2CAP support on that API level. This requirement applies only to Multipeer P2P Replication, not to general data sync. Devices running API 24—28 can still use Couchbase Lite 3.4 with all non-Bluetooth features, including Wi-Fi-based Multipeer replication.
If your application targets API 24—28, do not include |
