- first/final telemetry deltas;
- a comparable baseline without StreetPass active.

The project owner’s physical stress testing found no material battery effect. Treat that as a strong encouraging observation, while continuing to measure new hardware and iOS releases.
Repeated physical stress tests found no material battery change against the test baseline. Continue to measure after hardware, radio, or iOS changes.

P2 Badge Regenerate the checked-in playbook PDF

The Markdown now replaces the owner-specific battery claim, but APPLE_BLE_BACKGROUND_PLAYBOOK.pdf remains byte-for-byte unchanged from the parent commit and still embeds the old “project owner's physical stress testing” wording. Since this repository includes Scripts/render_markdown_pdf.py for generating that PDF, regenerate and commit it so users of the PDF receive the same tightened claim as readers of the Markdown.

- termination and relaunch experiments;
- local encounter notifications.

The project owner reports that heavy stress testing remains reliable when both parties have StreetPass installed and does not materially affect battery life in their tested conditions.
Heavy stress testing remained reliable when both parties had StreetPass installed and showed no material battery change in the tested conditions.

The public repository intentionally summarizes those findings rather than committing raw reports, device names, device identifiers, signing IDs, or private filesystem paths.

# StreetPass

StreetPass is a local-first iOS experiment in opt-in, proximity-based social discovery. A person creates a profile on their device; the app exchanges a compact profile card with nearby StreetPass installations over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE); and each device keeps its own short-lived encounter feed.
StreetPass is a local-first iOS app for opt-in, proximity-based social discovery. A person creates a profile on their device; the app exchanges a compact profile card with nearby StreetPass installations over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE); and each device keeps its own short-lived encounter feed.

There is no account service, analytics SDK, ad network, or required backend. The interesting part is the device-to-device behavior: when two people have StreetPass installed and Bluetooth access enabled, their phones can recognize a crossing without sending the profile through a server.

## Project status

The core two-device flow has been repeatedly exercised on physical iPhone and iPad hardware, including foreground, background, persisted-profile, high-frequency tester, and unplugged battery trials. The project owner reports reliable bidirectional encounters under stress and no material battery impact in those trials.
The core two-device flow has been repeatedly exercised on physical iPhone and iPad hardware, including foreground, background, persisted-profile, high-frequency tester, and unplugged battery trials. Those runs produced reliable bidirectional encounters under stress without a material battery change against the test baseline.

Those results are real-world evidence, not a promise about every device, iOS release, radio environment, or usage pattern. See [TESTING.md](TESTING.md) for reproducible gates and [APPLE_BLE_BACKGROUND_PLAYBOOK.md](APPLE_BLE_BACKGROUND_PLAYBOOK.md) for the physical-device runbook.
