Create a Bluetooth transport that works in Electron

[gre]

It's unclear weither or not Electron supports Bluetooth out of the box, there is this discussion here electron/electron#7367 but it's not clearly stated and I can't find any documentation in Electron itself. Electron often have a degraded support of Chromium features, don't implement it all so it's worth trying if hw-transport-web-ble works from the renderer thread.

Maybe there are adaptation to do and we can do them, but if navigator.bluetooth is not a thing we'll have to turn to other solution like https://github.com/noble/noble

I guess it is worth mentioning there that now there is this (experimental) package: https://github.com/LedgerHQ/ledgerjs/tree/master/packages/hw-transport-node-ble

Is there any documentation on how to use the hw-transport-web-ble? We can't make head or tail out of what it says over here - https://github.com/LedgerHQ/ledgerjs/tree/master/packages/hw-transport-web-ble

Please list the necessary steps to connect to the X via the browser. What are the calls to be made and in what order? Do you have any example code you can share?

[gre]

We have an example in https://github.com/LedgerHQ/ledgerjs-examples/tree/master/bluetooth-web-react

@gre - Thank you. But is does the "ledger app" need to make any changes to support ble?

[gre]

I think most of Nano X apps are compiled to support BLE so it should work.

@gre - Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case. I opened another issue here. Could you please help figure out? - #440
