Enabling reliable communication between the iOS app and the Orb device through BLE

World

Description

World is a consumer technology platform centered around World ID, World App, and the Orb device. GettingApp contributed to the iOS mobile application, focusing on the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connection layer used to communicate with the Orb and support a seamless device-to-app experience.

Challenge

Hardware-connected mobile products introduce a different level of complexity compared to standard mobile apps. Establishing a stable BLE connection between the iOS application and the Orb device required handling pairing, communication reliability, and real-world edge cases while keeping the user experience smooth and invisible.
