GitHub repository features Wand Browser, an iOS app for testing Web Bluetooth and Web NFC functionality
GitHub has added Wand Browser to its collection of developer tools. The open-source iOS browser enables developers to test JavaScript web apps on iPhone using WebBluetooth (BLE/GATT) and WebNFC (NDEF tags). The application supports Bluetooth Low Energy device selection, GATT service connection, characteristic reading and writing, and NFC tag reading and writing through NDEFReader. Camera access through navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia() is also available for video testing. History tracking stores recent test pages locally on the device, with user-controlled Bluetooth and NFC permissions that end when loading new documents or revoking access. This early version supports a subset of Web Bluetooth and Web NFC APIs. Hardware and camera access require a top-level HTTPS page with Wand in the foreground. NFC functionality is limited to NDEF tags, and physical iPhone hardware with compatible accessories is recommended for BLE and NFC testing. The iOS 18 or later requirement applies to current builds.
