    I'm the creator of SimpleBLE, a cross-platform library to use Bluetooth on desktop environments (and hopefully mobile soon), and I'm currently looking into adding Kotlin bindings. I how how to write JNI wrappers as I've done so in the past, but I'm having trouble understanding what's the best way to set up a Gradle project for it to be consumed by 3rd party users, considering that the C++ backend can be compiled with multiple "flavors" based on the target OS.

    I do have a request to enable cross-compiling support, so I think I might go for it relatively soon. For reference, this is the issue to track on this topic: https://github.com/OpenBluetoothToolbox/SimpleBLE/issues/98

    I've received this request multiple times, so I think it's important enough to make sure it's part of the v0.6 release. I've made an issue to track this, feel free to follow: https://github.com/OpenBluetoothToolbox/SimpleBLE

    Fixed the incorrect URLs. My bad on the usage docs, when I wrote this I was referring to the examples folder in the repo. I made it slightly better with some more specific guidance: https://github.com/OpenBluetoothToolbox/SimpleBLE/blob/main/docs/usage.rst

    For over a year I've been working on a cross-platform Bluetooth library called SimpleBLE, specifically designed for use in desktop environments with a very simple API, allowing developers to easily integrate it into their projects without much effort.

    I do have a few examples showing how to enable notifications and writing to a characteristic. If you have any questions please reach out, I'll gladly help!

    Internally, SimpleBLE is using CoreBluetooth on MacOS, WinRT on Windows and SimpleBluez/SimpleDBus (two other components that I wrote providing low-level access to DBus as well as Bluez abstractions). The library is extensively tested in terms of functionality as well as memory/thread sanity and I do feel confident about it being production ready. Tiny caveat: Most tests I run are manual, although I have plans for a proper hardware-in-the-loop CI pipeline if I get enough people interested / funding.
