Overview
Plugin.Maui.BluetoothSerial is classic Bluetooth serial for MAUI — SPP / RFCOMM, not BLE. BluetoothManager owns GATT connection lifecycle. This plugin scans bonded SPP devices on Android, opens a session, and reads/writes bytes. iOS has no public RFCOMM; MFi External Accessory is required or the API returns NotSupported. net10.0 ships a loopback session for tests.
