Iris Classon - In Love with Code https://www.irisclasson.com/2026/04/07/error-compileappmanifest-task-failed-unexpectedly/ - Hope you’ve had a lovely Easter! I caught the flu the week before, and am still recovering. Flu plus Easter = I was away for over a week. Which means by the time I came back and did a pull there had been quite a few changes in the work code base. After staring at the…

Iris Classon - In Love with Code https://www.irisclasson.com/2026/03/03/bluetooth-log-distance-path-loss-calculation/ - I realize I didn’t show the calculation in the previous blog post. That was partly intentional as it’s not a good idea. Even more so indoors, where you have more surfaces and obstacles. But, here it is, the C# implementation: public double? EstimateDistanceMeters(…
Iris Classon - In Love with Code https://www.irisclasson.com/2026/03/01/file-based-apps-in-.net-10/ - One of my favourite improvements in recent .NET versions, and something that feels properly usable in .NET 10, is file-based apps. You can create a single .cs file and run it directly. No project file, no solution, no folder structure, just code. dotnet run hello.cs That’s it. What it looks…
Iris Classon - In Love with Code https://www.irisclasson.com/2026/02/28/ble-scanning-on-android-in-.net-maui/ - In my previous post I mentioned scan modes briefly, mostly in the context of why RSSI behaves the way it does on Android. A few people asked for a more complete example, so here is a MAUI-ready Android service you can drop in. BluetoothLeScanner gets the scan settings, and…
Iris Classon - In Love with Code https://www.irisclasson.com/2026/02/27/why-ble-rssi-spikes-on-android/ - Working on the BLE emulator, I kept noticing that RSSI readings on Android were jumpier than on iOS. Not just a little — noticeably more erratic, even when nothing was moving and the environment hadn’t changed. It took me a while to understand why. The answer is scan modes and duty…
Iris Classon - In Love with Code https://www.irisclasson.com/2026/02/20/approximating-ble-proximity-with-rssi-in-.net-on-ios/ - I’ve continued working on my hobby project, a Bluetooth device emulator, and at some point I had what felt like a brilliant idea. I wanted to map out nearby Bluetooth devices from the receiving end and get a sense of where they were located. That turns out not to be…
Iris Classon - In Love with Code https://www.irisclasson.com/2026/02/05/why-your-ble-manufacturer-data-disappears-on-macos-.net--corebluetooth/ - If you’ve ended up here, I am sorry. I also hope you have not spent as much time as I did trying to figure out why the manufacturer data is always empty on the receiving end. I have been working on a .NET MAUI BLE device emulator and realized,…
