## Description

BluetoothButton-XF is a technical demo of Bluetooth communication between two paired devices. The purpose is to showcase Bluetooth communication as well as a basic Xamarin.Forms application.<br><br>Pair your phone to another device running BluetoothButton, launch the app, and connect. Then you can toggle a button back and forth between the two devices! We hope you enjoy this creative + simple demo.<br><br>This iteration of the app uses Xamarin.Forms ( hence the -XF in the app name ), but Ball of Knives has developed the same app using other frameworks/languages like QT, GNOME, Kotlin and SwiftUI.  Keep an eye out for BluetoothButton-QT, BluetoothButton-KT, etc.!
