How can I correctly identify my Fitbit peripheral using Core Bluetooth in iOS?

The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.

I'm using Core Bluetooth in my iOS project to discover peripherals and I want to filter out my Fitbit device using its UUID. I've written the following code:

SWIFT
func centralManager(_ central: CBCentralManager, didDiscover peripheral: CBPeripheral, advertisementData: [String : Any], rssi RSSI: NSNumber) { guard peripheral.identifier != UUID(uuidString: "FEFEA0F0-90D3-BB0A-7732-12ADAB579D77") else { return } print("Discovered peripheral: \(peripheral.identifier)") }

When I run the app, the debug window shows several discovered peripherals, for example:

BASH
Discovered peripheral: 49AB5D83-1F40-0B71-9DD0-E51E60AD4BD4 Discovered peripheral: FE0BF3FD-9BCC-B016-A386-ACD063B70927 Discovered peripheral: 42270FB6-518C-EEF2-909A-6B2D77B2F0CF Discovered peripheral: 49AB5D83-1F40-0B71-9DD0-E51E60AD4BD4 Discovered peripheral: C12736EB-B976-ACAB-BC6F-56FDA73CC7F1 Message from debugger: killed

I understand that the "Message from debugger: killed" line is from LLDB when the process is terminated (likely by manual stop or runtime conditions) and not an error in the delegate method. My main concern is whether I'm correctly identifying my Fitbit device, as the log shows different UUIDs. How can I reliably determine which peripheral is my Fitbit? What is the best practice for filtering and identifying a specific device using Core Bluetooth?

The “Message from debugger: killed” line isn’t coming from your code—it’s a message from LLDB stating that the process was terminated. This can happen for a number of reasons:

  • Manual termination: You may have stopped the app during debugging (for example, by pressing Stop in Xcode), which will cause LLDB to report that the process was killed.
  • Runtime conditions: The operating system might kill the app if it violates certain conditions (such as taking too long in the background or using too many resources). However, in your case, if you aren’t experiencing any crashes or misbehavior beyond the debugger message, it’s most likely just the termination message when you ended the session.

Your delegate method is working as expected; the output shows that you successfully discovered several peripherals and printed their identifiers. The guard statement will only filter out the peripheral whose identifier exactly matches the given UUID. In your log you see a different UUID in the second discovery, so it isn’t filtered out.

If you’re stopping debugging manually, then the “killed” message is normal. If you suspect the app is unexpectedly terminated by the OS, you might want to review your app’s background modes and ensure you’re handling all necessary state transitions properly.
