Protection Mode

Protection Mode is an additive runtime capability that arms a higher-resilience path for critical BLE and SOS handling without changing default SDK behavior when it stays off.

What the partner should know

• Protection Mode is off by default
• the host app must arm it explicitly
• readiness can be evaluated before arming
• Android has the most complete current path
• iOS participates honestly but may remain partial depending on runtime ownership support

Recommended flow

final readiness = await sdk.evaluateProtectionReadiness();

if (readiness.canEnterProtectionMode) {
  await sdk.enterProtectionMode();
}

Primary methods

• evaluateProtectionReadiness()
• enterProtectionMode(...)
• exitProtectionMode()
• getProtectionStatus()
• watchProtectionStatus()
• getProtectionDiagnostics()
• watchProtectionDiagnostics()
• rehydrateProtectionState()
• flushProtectionQueues()

Host responsibilities

• declare native permissions and capabilities
• own permission education UX
• decide when to arm/disarm the mode
• render status/diagnostics meaningfully
