Sure I can. I'm still unable to figure out the exact steps to reproduce it but I'll keep trying.

Can you help us install the bluetooth logging profile, reproduce the issue, and file a radar? Also provide us the steps to reproduce and a timestamp. Duy

We have encountered this as well.

I have found that it happened to me only after using the Control Center bluetooth button to "turn off" (disconnect but not actually turn off) Bluetooth, *in combination* with using the Settings App or Airplane Mode button to turn Bluetooth off or on, in some sequence. I'm sorry I don't have an exact sequence for you.

I now make a point of only ever using the Airplane Mode button or the Settings App to disable Bluetooth when I need it truly turned off. Since doing so, I have never encountered this state. Using the control center button to turn Bluetooth ON (from a truly-off state) seems safe so far.

Once the state is reached, rebooting the phone of course clears it up; there is probably something less drastic that works, but since figuring out how to avoid it I haven't had to hunt for a better fix.

If you can see other apps exhibit the same problem, that strongly suggests this is a bug in Core Bluetooth related to the Control Center Bluetooth button's new behavior.

(Apple, please count me as yet another vote that the iOS 11 behavior of that button is unhelpful, and that a true "off" for Bluetooth and Wifi should be available somehow in the control center. Firm-press maybe?)

1. Getting state .poweredOff even when Bluetooth is on (Hadi)

Hi,

There's an issue I've been facing since iOS 11. Sometimes when bluetooth is enabled (it's showing blue icon in control center, and toggle is on in Settings > Bluetooth) the centralManagerDidUpdateState(_:) method returns ".poweredOff". I thought I might be doing something wrong in code but I checked with popular BLE apps like nrfConnect, Light Blue (Explorer), Pebble app and they all were asking me to turn on the Bluetooth.

However I was able to pair my headphones with iPhone and also connect to the BLE device (I'm working on) using Settings > Bluetooth and tapping on it.

Anyone aware of the issue? Or these all apps including mine's are not following the CoreBluetooth rules? Your feedback/help would be appreciated.

I can also send screenshots and screen recording if anyone wants.

Thanks, Hadi
