**Nearby fake badge receives images**
When a nearby attacker advertises an `ATC_` device with the OEPL service UUID and the user selects it, `connect` accepts the device based only on its claimed service UUID, and `_transfer` uploads the current image after connecting. The fake badge therefore receives the image intended for the real badge.
Authenticate or pair with the badge and verify its identity before sending image data.
Also at `lib/view/widgets/oepl_transfer_dialog.dart:132-152`.

**Nearby listeners can recover transferred images**
When a user sends a private image to a badge whose BLE link does not require encryption, while an attacker is within radio range, `connect` establishes the BLE connection without pairing, and `_send` writes the image-transfer bytes without application-layer encryption. On an unencrypted BLE link, a nearby listener can capture and reconstruct the uploaded image.
Require an encrypted, authenticated BLE link or encrypt transfer payloads end to end before sending them.
Also at `lib/utils/epd/oepl_ble_client.dart:188-194`.

<issue_to_address>
**Wrong color planes are sent**
When the badge reports two or three total colors, `OeplDisplayInfo.hasRed` and `hasYellow` treat the total palette size as a count of color planes, so `_transfer` encodes the wrong planes and sends an image that the badge displays incorrectly or rejects.
Set the red and yellow thresholds to match the badges’ total palette sizes.

**Android scan permission is never requested**
When android 12 or later has not granted Bluetooth scan and connect permissions, `_startScan` treats `AvailabilityState.unauthorized` as a terminal Bluetooth-off error and never requests the runtime permissions, so scanning cannot start and the user sees an error instead of a permission prompt.
Request the Bluetooth scan and connect runtime permissions before treating an unauthorized state as a terminal error.

**iOS Bluetooth access fails**
When a user opens the BLE transfer flow or starts badge discovery on an iOS version that requires the usage-description key, the BLE availability check and scan access CoreBluetooth without `NSBluetoothAlwaysUsageDescription`, so iOS denies Bluetooth access or terminates the app before badges can be discovered.
Add an `NSBluetoothAlwaysUsageDescription` entry to the iOS app configuration.

<issue_to_address>
**Low MTU breaks image writes**
When the connection negotiates an MTU below 238 or the MTU request fails, `buildBlockParts` produces fixed 235-byte writes, but ATT permits only MTU minus 3 bytes and `connect` continues after a low or failed MTU request. The badge rejects or drops the writes, so the transfer fails.
Adapt write sizes to the negotiated MTU or stop with a clear unsupported-MTU error before sending image data.

+ var hasRed = widget.display.colors.length >= 3;
+ var hasYellow = widget.display.colors.length >= 4;
</code_context>
<issue_to_address>
**Fallback images lack portrait orientation**
When the badge does not respond to display-info requests and accepts the image upload, `_transfer` leaves `image` in the editor’s landscape dimensions because `adaptToDisplay` runs only when display info is available. Portrait badges receive an image with incorrect dimensions and orientation.
Adapt the fallback image to the selected display’s dimensions and orientation before uploading.

**Saved OEPL images use generic transfer**
When a saved image for an OEPL model is reopened from the image library and transferred, `EpdUtils.getEpdFromMetadata` does not recognize the OEPL model IDs and reconstructs a generic `ConfigurableEpd`, so the library dispatches to the generic transfer flow instead of the OEPL BLE uploader.
Register the OEPL model IDs in the metadata device factories so saved images reconstruct as OEPL BLE displays.

<issue_to_address>
**Repeated taps start competing transfers**
When the user taps a discovered badge twice before scan-subscription cancellation completes, both `_transfer` calls pass the asynchronous cancellation before either marks the dialog as transferring, then share a client whose display-info completer and session are overwritten. The transfers interfere, stall, or report an unreliable result.
Mark the dialog as transferring or serialize the operation before awaiting scan cancellation, and prevent a second transfer from starting.

</code_context>
<issue_to_address>
**BLE operations can hang indefinitely**
When a BLE platform operation fails to complete, `OeplBleClient.scan` installs its timeout only after `UniversalBle.startScan` returns; service discovery, notification subscription, and writes also have no timeout. If one of these platform calls stalls, the scan or transfer remains stuck instead of reaching the failure UI.
Apply timeouts to the BLE operations themselves and handle timeout failures by stopping the scan or disconnecting the transfer.
Also at `lib/utils/epd/oepl_ble_client.dart:134`, `lib/utils/epd/oepl_ble_client.dart:183`.

</code_context>
<issue_to_address>
**Cancellation races with connection**
When the user cancels while `connect` is still awaiting BLE setup, `disconnect()` clears `_deviceId` but does not cancel or serialize the pending `connect`; if `UniversalBle.connect` resolves afterward, `connect` continues installing subscriptions after the dialog's teardown. The dialog is gone, and the later cleanup no longer has the device ID to disconnect.
Serialize cancellation with connection setup and check a connection generation or cancellation flag after each awaited BLE operation before installing subscriptions.
Also at `lib/utils/epd/oepl_ble_client.dart:117`.
</issue_to_address>Sourcery assessment
Needs a human reviewer. 11 findings to address first, and a protocol or image-encoding error could leave an incorrect image on the badge after the transfer; reverting the app would not restore the badge, though another upload can repair it.
Blocking findings: lib/utils/epd/oepl_ble_client.dart:135, lib/utils/epd/oepl_ble_client.dart:117, lib/utils/epd/oepl_protocol.dart:32, lib/view/widgets/oepl_transfer_dialog.dart:83, pubspec.yaml:49, and 6 more

universal_ble 3.0.2 Android BLUETOOTH_SCAN runtime permission request documentation
💡 Result:
**`universal_ble` 3.0.2 isn’t confirmed in the available package records:** pub.dev’s versions page lists 3.0.1 as the newest version shown, not 3.0.2. So I can’t verify that the current README exactly matches 3.0.2. ([pub.dev](https://pub.dev/packages/universal_ble/versions?utm_source=openai))
The project documentation says:
- Add `BLUETOOTH_SCAN` to `AndroidManifest.xml` (and the other platform-appropriate Bluetooth permissions).
- You **don’t need to call a separate Android permission API**: `startScan()` requests permissions automatically.
- To request them beforehand, call `await UniversalBle.requestPermissions()`. It throws `UniversalBleException` if the user denies permission.
- On Android 12+ (API 31+), `withAndroidFineLocation` controls whether fine location is also requested; it does **not** disable the Bluetooth permission request. ([github.com](https://github.com/Navideck/universal_ble/blob/main/README.md?utm_source=openai))
```dart
await UniversalBle.requestPermissions(); // optional; startScan() also requests permissions
await UniversalBle.startScan();
```
Android requires `BLUETOOTH_SCAN` to be declared in the manifest and approved at runtime when targeting Android 12 or higher. ([developer.android.com](https://developer.android.com/develop/connectivity/bluetooth/bt-permissions?utm_source=openai))

universal_ble getBluetoothAvailabilityState AvailabilityState unauthorized Android permission startScan 3.0.2
💡 Result:
**Short answer:** In `universal_ble`, `AvailabilityState.unauthorized` means the app lacks Bluetooth permission; it is not a Bluetooth-powered-off state. Don’t gate scanning only on `poweredOn`: call `startScan()` (which requests permissions automatically), or call `requestPermissions()` explicitly and handle denial. The package docs say denied permissions cause a `UniversalBleException`. ([github.com](https://github.com/Navideck/universal_ble?utm_source=openai))
Check that the Android manifest declares the permissions appropriate to your OS versions—especially `BLUETOOTH_SCAN` on Android 12+ and location permission for older Android versions. ([github.com](https://github.com/Navideck/universal_ble/blob/main/README.md?utm_source=openai))
**Version caveat:** I couldn’t verify a published `3.0.2`; pub.dev’s versions page lists `3.0.1` as the latest 3.x version it shows. The details above are from the current package docs, so exact `3.0.2` implementation behavior remains unconfirmed. ([pub.dev](https://pub.dev/packages/universal_ble/versions?utm_source=openai))

Request BLE permissions before starting the OEPL scan.
_startScan() reaches UniversalBle.startScan() without requesting runtime permissions. In universal_ble 3.0.2, startScan() does not request permissions in the Android implementation. A fresh Android 12+ install can therefore fail to discover badges because the manifest declaration does not grant BLUETOOTH_SCAN or BLUETOOTH_CONNECT. The same applies to the runtime location permission required for BLE scanning on supported earlier Android versions.
Suggested fix
try {
+ await UniversalBle.requestPermissions();
final state = await UniversalBle.getBluetoothAvailabilityState();🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Update _startScan() to await UniversalBle.requestPermissions() before checking
Bluetooth availability or starting the scan, so required runtime BLE permissions
are granted on supported Android versions.
