I am building a JAVA desktop app that can advertise via BLE to nearby android devices.
I stumbled across BlueCove which seems to be Java's bluetooth API.
Whenever I try to use BlueCove in my Java application on my MacBook Pro M1, I am getting the following error:
Native Library bluecove not available
Exception in thread "main" javax.bluetooth.BluetoothStateException: BlueCove library bluecove not available

I found online that you need to use the -d32 parameter when launching your java application. I tried that but I get a Unrecognized option: -d32. Answers like these say that there is an unreleased version 2.1.2 which works on a Mac but the link you can find online seems to be broken.
Was anyone able to have BlueCove (or any Java Bluetooth API) working in their Java application?
