BlueParrott iOS Integration Component
The BlueParrott iOS SDK provides developer access to the programmable BlueParrott Button™ found on premium BlueParrott headsets allowing for control of select functions and activities within a mobile application directly from the headset. The BlueParrott Button™ can be configured for up to four dedicated states of operation: Press, Double-Tap, Hold, and Release. Each of these states is addressable for individual functions within the mobile application. Access to firmware version, sensor data, and settings that modify the headset's behavior are also available. See the table below for applicability.
To increase the overall utility of integration, functionality can be either limited to when the application is in the foreground or extended to offer background access as well.
Configuration of the headset's BlueParrott Button™ is also managed by the SDK library, so an application can directly configure the BlueParrott Button™ on a connected headset for use with the app, simplifying setup and easing the deployment of large numbers of devices.
BlueParrott iOS SDK v4.0.8 is a framework which provides interfaces to the following functionality in compatible BlueParrott devices:
- BlueParrott Button™ configuration; four operation states
