I want to get explicit mac address of devices on iOS

See original GitHub issue

I want to get explicit mac address of devices on iOS when I scan nearby devices on my phone and store the paired devices locally. But based on the discussion in https://github.com/Polidea/react-native-ble-plx/issues/92, the Device.id on iOS is

on iOS it will be autogenerated UUID

I want to get the explicit mac address somehow, is it possible for your team to add this attributes to iOS?

Hello @LingboTang

Thanks for using the library!

Unfortunately iOS does not provide any access to the peripheral’s MAC address on the native level—so no—it is not possible to add this attribute to iOS.

Best Regards
