Add Windows Support for flutter_reactive_ble #929

Description

@uveshm003

Is your feature request related to a problem? (please describe)
As of now I am using flutter_reactive_ble for my application which only has the support for Android & iOS. but now there is a request to extend that support to windows as well hence I may have to add conditional BLE setup using flutter_reactive_ble for Android & iOS while using other package for windows or I will have to replace the entire logic of my application to the new plugin.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like official Windows support to be added to the package. This could include:

  • A native Windows BLE implementation.
  • Consistent API behavior across Android, iOS, and Windows.
  • Documentation and example usage for Windows integration.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Exploring other BLE Plugins & found few but the maintainability is not as reliable as this one.
  • Attempting a custom platform channel implementation using Windows APIs, but this increases complexity and deviates from the simplicity that provides.

Additional context
Adding Windows support would significantly enhance the usability of the plugin for developers targeting desktop platforms. With Flutter’s growing support for desktop applications, this feature would help maintain parity across platforms and improve developer experience.

If needed, I’d be happy to help test or contribute to the Windows implementation.
