Does support Bleutooth?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Does Corona SDK support file sharing using bluetooth or wifi between same app?

#2

Corona SDK has plugins for sharing that will use the OS’s sharing system to share files between devices, but not specifically between a Corona SDK app and a Corona SDK app.

Rob, Can you share the API link. 

So you mean to say that my app cant send file from my device to someone around me with the same app?

I don’t know if you’re an Android user or an iOS user.  But the Activity Controller can use AirDrop to send files between devices.  If you send someone a photo file it likely will end up in the Camera Roll for instance.  You might be able to setup some plist things for iOS that would let you create your own file extension like .xyzzy that **might** let another iOS device running your app receive your file, but I have a feeling this is very unlikely to be doable in Corona SDK and might be doable in Corona Enterprise.

Android has a similar device to device file sending, though I’m less familiar with it.  I doubt that app to app sharing will work and maybe through Enterprise.

Yup, we do have Corona enterprise as well. 

So you suggest to use http services to do so.?

You can explore your options.
