The Thread 1 signal SIGABRT error is produced when I click either central mode or peripheral mode but not when I click send data. I have done some research online and the general solution to this error is to check the connections for the buttons and make sure there is only one connection and it is the correct one. I have done this but it still has not fixed the error. Below are images of the connections for these buttons.

Hello Im kinda new to Swift. Im trying to send a String from a textfield encoded in utf8 via Bluethooth to another iOS device. Here is the code, but I don't understand why it doesn't work.
Peripheral Side:
class ViewController: UIViewController, CBPeripheralDelegate, CBPeripheralManagerDelegate{
#IBOutlet weak var textField : UITextField!
#IBOutlet weak var switchBtn : UISwitch!
var peripheralManager : CBPeripheralManager?
var peripheralDevice : CBPeripheral?
var characteristic : CBMutableCharacteristic?
var data : Data? {
textField.text?.data(using: .utf8) ?? "Yes".data(using: .utf8)
}
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
peripheralManager?.delegate = self
peripheralDevice?.delegate = self
}
func peripheralManagerDidUpdateState(_ peripheral: CBPeripheralManager) {
switch peripheral.state{
case .poweredOn : setUpPeripheral()
print("e deschisa conexiunea")
case .poweredOff: print("conexiunea e inchisa")
default: print("nu se stie")
}
}
private func setUpPeripheral(){
let transferCharacteristic = CBMutableCharacteristic(type: BTConstants.sampleCharacteristicUUID,
properties: [.notify,.read],
value: data ?? nil,
permissions: [.readable,.writeable])
let transferServer = CBMutableService(type: BTConstants.sampleServiceUUID, primary: true)
transferServer.characteristics = [transferCharacteristic]
peripheralManager?.add(transferServer)
self.characteristic = transferCharacteristic
}
#IBAction func swtichButton(_ sender: Any) {
if switchBtn.isOn{
peripheralManager!.startAdvertising([CBAdvertisementDataServiceUUIDsKey: [BTConstants.sampleServiceUUID]])
}
else{
peripheralManager?.stopAdvertising()
}
}
}
The device which is scanning and receiving the String :
class ViewController: UIViewController, CBCentralManagerDelegate, CBPeripheralDelegate {
#IBOutlet weak var textField : UILabel!
var data : Data?
var cbManager : CBCentralManager!
var peripheralCB : CBPeripheral!
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {

}
func centralManagerDidUpdateState(_ central: CBCentralManager) {
switch central.state{
case .poweredOn :
cbManager.scanForPeripherals(withServices: [BTConstants.sampleServiceUUID]
,options: [CBCentralManagerScanOptionAllowDuplicatesKey : true])
case .poweredOff : self.textField?.text = "poweredOff"
default : self.textField?.text = "Default"
}
}
func centralManager(_ central: CBCentralManager, didDiscover peripheral: CBPeripheral, advertisementData: [String : Any], rssi RSSI: NSNumber) {
self.cbManager?.stopScan()
guard RSSI.intValue >= -50
else {
os_log("Discovered perhiperal not in expected range, at %d", RSSI.intValue)
return
}
if peripheralCB != peripheral{
peripheralCB = peripheral
}
self.peripheralCB?.delegate = self
self.data = Data()
cbManager?.connect(peripheralCB!, options: nil)
}
func centralManager(_ central: CBCentralManager, didConnect peripheral: CBPeripheral) {
if self.peripheralCB == peripheral {
os_log("Connected to right peripheral")
}
peripheralCB?.discoverServices([BTConstants.sampleServiceUUID])
}
func setUp(string : String){
self.textField?.text = string
}
func peripheral(_ : CBPeripheral, didUpdateValueFor : CBCharacteristic, error: Error?) {
if error != nil {
os_log("this is sparta")
}
guard let characteristicData = didUpdateValueFor.value,
let stringFromData = String(data: characteristicData, encoding: .utf8) else { return }
setUp(string: String(data: characteristicData, encoding: .utf8) ?? "Doesnt work")
}
}
with CBCentralManager i succesully scan multiple BLE UART devices and connect to them, de devices are stored in the array periphirals[], but when i want to send data to them one by one, only the last one connected i can send succesfully send data to, i solved it by calling blePeripheral?.discoverServices([ParticlePeripheral.BLEService_UUID])before writing data again, but i think this is not the right solution, can someone explain what i am doing wrong?
Below the code i use, the scanning and connecting start by didload
and startCyclus starts the first device, after the data recieved "didUpdateValueFor" is entered , getting the data and direct send data to the next peripheral

I think it's your logging is hiding what's really happening.
You reassign blePeripheral before each connection, but if any of them take longer than 0.5 seconds, by the time didConnect is called, the device that has connected won't be the one that's referred to by blePeripheral.
I would suggest removing blePeripheral entirely, and explicitly pass the CBPeripheral object into connectToDevice. Also, in didConnect, use the peripheral parameter that's passed in.

My questions are:
How can I modify the BLECentral class to use as a singleton so I
can call from any view controller class to read and write data?
Can I simply make the first view controller as a singleton instead of the BLE central and read/write by calling this from other view controller class?
Or can I extend the first view controller class scope by using
extension?
I'm currently able to read/write data but peripheral doesn't seem to
be called properly sometimes, therefore gets disconnected? Any
suggestions/fixes?
Here is my FirstViewController class:
class FirstViewController: UIViewController, UIPeripheralManagerDelegate {
var peripheralManager: CBPeripheralManager?
var peripheral: CBPeripheral!
viewDidLoad(){
//I'm calling the blePeripheral from BLE class to the peripheral in the current class
peripheral = blePeripheral
}
//I have a button here to send some data and only when I receive the data I want to go to the next view controller
#IBAction func login(_sender: AnyObject) {
//This is my write code
let bytes : [UInt8] = [ 0x1A, 0x2B, 0x3C, 0x4D ]
let Transmitdata = NSData(bytes: bytes, length: bytes.count)
peripheral.writeValue(Transmitdata as Data, for: txCharacteristic!, type: CBCharacteristicWriteType.withoutResponse)
print("Data Sent",Transmitdata)
//Give time for data to be received fromdevice
sleep(1)
//let ReceiveData = rxCharacteristic?.value
if let ReceiveData = ReceiveData {
let ReceivedNoOfBytes = ReceiveData.count
var ReceivedByteArray = [UInt8](repeating: 0, count: ReceivedNoOfBytes)
(ReceiveData as NSData).getBytes(&ReceivedByteArray, length: ReceivedNoOfBytes)
print("Data Received ",ReceivedByteArray)
//checking if we received the right data?
if(ReceivedByteArray[0] == 10 && ReceivedByteArray[1] == 20 && ReceivedByteArray[2] == 30 && ReceivedByteArray[3] == 40){
performSegue(withIdentifier: "Second_View", sender: self)
}
}
}
And the SecondViewController class:
class SecondViewController: UIViewController{
var firstview: FirstViewController?
var peripheralManager: CBPeripheralManager?
var peripheral: CBPeripheral!
override func viewWillAppear(_animated: Bool){
let peripheral = firstview?.peripheral
let peripheralManager = firstview?.peripheralManager
}
//I have another button here to direct me to third view controller class
#IBAction func mainmenu(_sender: AnyObject){
//send some bytes
//receiver some bytes
//similar to the first view controller
If correct data is received
{
performSegue(withIdentifier: "Main_M", sender: self)
}
}
override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?){
if segue.destination is Main_M
{
let gotoM = segue.destination as? Main_M
gotoM?.peripheral = firstview?.peripheral
}
}
I am a beginner to programming with swift and programming in general. I am currently working on an app which allows one phone to send a message (peripheral) to another which will receive the message (central). I have taken most of the code from an app built using swift 2 and have tweaked it slightly to remove any errors. As a result, my code is a jumble of swift 2/3 (or so I have been told). I am not sure how to update this code fully to swift 3 which I need someones help to do. I believe it is the IBActions and delegates that are outdated but I am completely clueless on how to amend it.
I have tried running the app and it runs successfully but when I press any of the buttons nothing happens as far as I can tell. I have a basic understanding of what my code does and what each function is there for but I find myself stuck on what to do for it to work. If anyone has experience working with Bluetooth via swift and can see what I am doing wrong or perhaps if I haven't included something important. I am led to believe the issue is that all the code has not been updated to swift 3 but I can't be sure. I have read the Apple documentation for Core bluetooth.
PS: I know this question is very vague as I am unsure on what part of my code I need to fix so it is very difficult to make it specific to a single issue. Sorry!

If the issue is because of swift 2/3 mismatch. Try upgrading your code to swift3.
Go to Xcode-edit-convert- to current swift syntax.
This will lead to few build errors, identify them and fix them.
Make your sure if you have any pod or cart file , do not forget to upgrade them as well.
Hopefully this should resolve your issue.
I've been working on an iOS app that interfaces with a BLE device. The device has 1 service with 5 characteristics. Three of them are read/notify, while the other two are read/write/notify.
When I first launch the app, I need to read the 5 characteristics, then listen for future notifications. For some reason, the read is not working (no response to readValueForCharacteristic), but the notifications do work (changes on the device show up in the app).
Also unusual - I never receive calls to didUpdateNotificationStateForCharacteristic, despite the fact that the notifications do indeed work.
I also am unable to write to the 2 writable characteristics, though that isn't my primary concern right now. I've verified none of these problems are on the device end, because I can perform them using the LightBlue.app
