iOS and Android ADK for Bluetooth® Mesh SDK 2.x and Higher#

NOTE: This section replaces AN1200.1: iOS and Android ADK for Bluetooth® Mesh SDK 2.x and Higher. Further updates to this application note will be provided here.

This document describes how to get started with Bluetooth mesh application development for iOS and Android smart phones and tablets using the Silicon Labs Bluetooth Mesh for iOS and Android Application Development Kit (ADK).

The document also provides a high-level architecture overview of the Silicon Labs Bluetooth mesh library, how it relates to the Bluetooth LE stack provided by the iOS and Android operating systems and what APIs are available. It also contains code snippets and explanations for the most common Bluetooth mesh use cases.

The Bluetooth mesh mobile app is intended to demonstrate the Silicon Labs Bluetooth mesh technology together with the Bluetooth mesh SDK sample apps. The mobile app is a reference app for the Bluetooth mesh mobile ADK but it should not be taken as a starting point for customers to create their own mobile apps.
