Hi,
Question
Can a connect app discover the ANCS service on the user’s connected iphone and read/receive its notifications? The connect API docs mention connecting to other peripherals, but in this case I want to receive the notifications from the phone that is already connected.
Background
I would like to develop a connect app that allows users to filter which notifications are shown on their device. I understand that Garmin recommends to add/remove the application from Notification Center to filter which applications/people are able to create notifications on the Garmin watch. However, I would like to provide the user a way to customize this on the Garmin side without having to make changes to their Notification Center settings.
I would like to create an app that allows further customization of this feature, allowing the user to enable notifications from only select contacts or specific applications. I am willing to create a companion app for iOS if this is necessary.
Disclaimer
I have taken a look through the BLE guide and the API docs. Though not extensively. This question is about understanding the system level integration and what is feasible.
