Add BLE Tracking

s-yanev opened this issue · comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The application should be able to track different devices that I had contact with via Bluetooth in close proximity.

Describe the solution you'd like
The application should track all of the devices in close proximity in the background and store the data on the phone or send it to the backend depending on the EU regulations.

Describe alternatives you've considered
We should consider using the new Apple/Google APIs for tracking.

Currently the task is put on hold because of the new EU regulations which are related to the user privacy.

So will this be implemented in the app? Still waiting
Google added support for the exposure notifications in Android

Hi @sotiriszampras, currently the project is put on hold and we don't consider developing new features.
If you want, you can implemnt the BLE tracking yourself and create a pull request.
