Reconnecting to peripherals

- [Instructor] As we build toward…our app implementation,…we want to make sure we're handling connecting…and reconnecting to the device…in an efficient manner,…and Core Bluetooth can help us here.…We need to store the peripheral UUID.…This will help us retrieve the device later,…and be able to reconnect to it if possible.…Now this value can change on your device.…Generally it won't,…but you need to check the specifications…of your specific device.…The first thing Core Bluetooth can help us do is…fetch a list of known peripherals.…

This is a list of peripherals…that your device has connected to in the past…that the system keeps a list of.…If you can find your peripheral there…based on the UUID, you can reconnect to it.…The next possibility is to fetch a list…of already connected devices.…If your device is one of those,…you can reconnect to it.…If neither of these work out,…you can still can as usual.…Apple provides this diagram for the workflow.…You retrieve the known peripherals,…and if you find the right one,…you connect to it.…
