On android this works with QField but on IOS this does not work because QField does not support bluetooth on iOS devices. ArcGIS field mapper App supports bluetooth and the emlid reach RX works there.

We have an ArduSimple RTK handheld surveyor unit that did not work out of the box on our iPhones due to this limitation. There is a new ArduSimple unit out that might fix this issue but our older unit is still limited.

SW Maps too is able to work with Bluetooth on iOS (e.g. with SparkFun Facet and Facet mosaic GNSS receivers). It would be so nice for QField to have the same ability.
