This document provides instructions for software developers who want to create custom software solutions that communicate with DynaMAX, eDynamo, aDynamo, iDynamo, uDynamo, kDynamo, sDynamo, tDynamo, iDynamo 5 Gen II, iDynamo 5 Gen III, or iDynamo 6 connected to an iOS host via audio connector or Bluetooth LE. It is part of a larger library of documents which includes:
D99875475 MagneSafe V5 Programmer’s Reference (Commands)
D998200175 DynaMAX Programmer's Manual (Commands)
D998200115 eDynamo Programmer's Manual (Command )

The MTSCRADemo software, available from MagTek, provides demonstration source code and a reusable MTSCRA library that provides developers of custom iOS software solutions with an easy-to-use interface. Developers can include the MTSCRA library in custom branded software which can be distributed to customers or distributed internally as part of an enterprise solution.
The general terms “device” and “host” are used in different, often incompatible ways in a multitude of specifications and contexts. For example, “host” may have different meanings in the context of USB communication than it does in the context of networked financial transaction processing. In this document, “device” and “host” are used strictly as follows:
Device refers to the MSR device that receives and responds to the command set specified in this document; in this case, DynaMAX, eDynamo, aDynamo, iDynamo, uDynamo, kDynamo, sDynamo, tDynamo, or iDynamo 6.
Host refers to the piece of general-purpose electronic equipment the device is connected or paired to, which can send data to and receive data from the device. Host types include PC and Mac computers/laptops, tablets, smartphones, teletype terminals, and even test harnesses. In many cases the host may have custom software installed on it that communicates with the device. When “host” must be used differently, it is qualified as something specific, such as “USB host.”
The word “user” is also often used in different ways in different contexts. In this document, user generally refers to the cardholder.
Tested devices:
iPhone 7, 7 Plus, 8, 8 Plus, X, XS, XS Max, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 series, iPhone 12 and 13 mini

Open the Lib subfolder.
Include the following files in your custom software project within XCode:
ibMTSCRA.a
MTSCRA.h
Ensure the library search paths are set up correctly.
If you are writing an app that will connect to Bluetooth LE devices, see the additional steps section 3 Important Information About Bluetooth LE.
Clean, build, and run your custom software project to make sure the library imported correctly.
In your custom software, create an instance of MTSCRA. For examples, including how to register delegate functions in your app for callbacks, see the source code included with the MTSCRA Demo app and / or Appendix C Code Examples .
Begin using the features provided by the MTSCRA object’s methods. For details about these methods, see section 4 MTSCRA Functions.
Add the following files to project, and setup the bridge header folder in build settings.
MTSCRA.H
MTSCRA-Bridge.h
Add libMTSCRA.a, in build phases->Link Binary with libraries, click ‘+’, then select Add Files and browse to libMTSCRA.a
Add libc++.tbd in build phases->Link Binary with libraries, click ‘+’, then type “c++” in the filter area and pick libc++.tbd.
After adding those two libraries, this will be in the project.
Add the external accessory protocols into info file. In the screen shot, it adds iDynamo5 and iDynamo6 with default protocols. Add your custom protocol if different.
When calling functions startScanningForPeripherals or openDevice, the application should make sure bleReaderStateUpdated has received a device status and that the most recent status was OK , otherwise the device will not be able to connect, and iOS will not throw any error if Bluetooth is not ready.
Starting in iOS 13, app projects must specify the Privacy Usage Description for Bluetooth by including NSUsageAlwaysUsageDescription in the info.plist file. Accessing Core Bluetooth without the usage descriptions will cause a runtime crash. For backward compatibility with older versions of iOS, define NSBluetoothPeripheralUsageDescription as well.
Make sure device is in pairing mode. If not, press and hold the button for 3 seconds until the blue light blinks, and then release the button.
Set device type and connection type.
Wait for callback bleReaderStateUpdated(), and then call startScanningForPeripheral().
Wait for onDeviceList() callback. Here you can call getDiscoveredPeripherals().
Select the device in the list.
Open the device you want to connect.
Library will pair the device. After inputting passcode, device is ready to use.

This message occurs when a non EMV command response is returned from the device.
Parameter
Description
data
Byte array containing the data received from the device. For details, see the Programmer's Manual (COMMANDS) for the specific device with which you are communicating.
This message occurs when an error occurs.
The SDK sends this notification when the transaction status has changed.
Device request for displaying information to user.
Device request for application to display a User Selection Menu.
This notification is sent from the device for ARQC data.
This message occurs when the transaction result is received from the EMV device.
This message occurs when an EMV command result is received from the EMV device.
This message occurs when and extended response is received from the device.
This message occurs when a command is sent to an unpaired Bluetooth LE device.
This message occurs when and extended response is received from the device.
This call back will be raised if host software subscribes to it.
This command is used to set the device’s date and time before calling startTransaction().
Devices with a battery-backed real time clock have the date and time set by the manufacturer, so this command may not need to be used after that. Devices that do not have a battery-backed real time clock must use this command frequently because (a) the clock must be set before the device can process EMV transactions, and (b) the host software must use this command every time the device is power cycled or reset.

The host uses this command to directly control power to the magnetic stripe reader head inside the device, to manage device power consumption and battery life. The host must power up the head before a cardholder swipes a magnetic stripe card outside the scope of an EMV transaction.
When the state is set to Always On, the head will always be powered.
When the state is set to Off When Idle, the head will be off when the device is idle. In this state, the device will not be able to read magnetic stripe cards outside the scope of EMV transactions without first turning the head on.
If the host sends startTransaction() the device will automatically power up the head, then power it down when the EMV transaction terminates.

Start EMV Transaction.
The device’s system date and time must be set prior to sending this command. Use sendExentedCommandSync() to set the date and time.
Devices without a battery-backed real time clock require the host to set the date and time using Extended Command 0x030C - Set Date and Time every time the device is power cycled or reset.
Devices that have a battery-backed real time clock (See Supported Devices) would typically have the date and time set at the factory.
