No, if you want to connect to a device with a specific name you have to handle the scan and manage to find the id of that peripheral. |

That's the standard way to do it. You can store on a in memory variable
like global.autoReconnectDeviceWithIds = [] and make your own business
logic with that.

But on IOS you don't get the mac address, instead you would receive a uuid
that behaves just fine.

@lucaswitch Even if I scan and save using iPhone A and send that ID to my server, can another iPhone B connect to the same device using that same ID? |

The uuid is unique per device -> phone, so in that case won't work cause
the uuid is not meant to be saved on a server.You would have to save each
device uuid + a unique phone identifier to be able to distinguish each uuid
that your server have. A kind of hashmap of a hashmap
