How to get the BLE advertisement (GAP) scanrecord in Xamarin with Monkey.Robotics to extract additional information to the device name?

We like to know if there is a way to get to the full payload of the GAP advertisement?

Hi, I managed to do that, unfortunatly I wrote it only for the android part so far because android return the raw bytes whereas Apple return a (weirdly) structured dictionnary.
For Android, it's quite fair simple, modify the DeviceDiscoveredEventArg to include 2 more property (the rssi and the scanRecord). and the in the platform specific Adapter class, inside the OnLeScan(..) methode add the rssi and the scanRecord in the eventArg before sending it.
For iOS, I'm still missing the way to get the raw byte[] scanRecord

Thanks for the hint!
This can be done with the binaries available or do I need to rebuild the Monkey.Robotics lib?

No, you need to use the code from github unfortunatly
