TL;DR my singleton BLEManager managing Bluetooth communication keeps getting re-initialised (see console log). How should I prevent this?
Using Swift 5.9 for iOS in Xcode 15.1
My code finds multiple BT devices, and lists them for selection, also building an array of devices for reference.
Most code examples connect each device immediately. I am trying to connect later, when a specific device is selected and its View opens.
I pass the array index of the device to the individual Model to serve as a reference, hoping to pass that back to BLEManager to connect and do further communication.
After scanning has completed, the log message shows there is 1 device in it, so its not empty.
As soon as I try and pass a reference back to BLEManager, the app crashes saying the array reference is out of bounds. The log shows that BLEManager is being re-initialised, presumably clearing and emptying the array.
How should I be declaring the relationship to achieve this?
Console log showing single device found:
ContentView init
BLEManager init
didDiscover id: 39D43C90-F585-792A-5BD6-8749BA0B5385
In didDiscover devices count is 1
stopScanning
After stopScanning devices count is 1
<-- selection made here
DeviceModel init to device id: 0
BLEManager init
BLEManager connectToDevice id: 0
devices is empty
