IOTcon API not supported on gear S3 frontier

IOTcon API not supported on gear S3 frontier

BY 18 Apr 2018 General Support

My gear, Samsung S3 frontier with Tizen 3.0.0.1 OS, does not show support for IOTcon API. When capability is checked using the below code, the app returns false.

try {
        /* Checks whether a device supports the Iotcon API */
        var iotcon_feature = tizen.systeminfo.getCapability('http://tizen.org/feature/iot.ocf');
        console.log('Iotcon = ' + iotcon_feature);
    } catch (error) {
        console.log('Error name: ' + error.name + ', message: ' + error.message);
    }

The API guide for IOTcon however states that it supports Tizen 3.0 and higher.

Also. it would be helpful if someone can provide a sample app on how to use iotcon. What i am trying to do is, establish communication between gear and TV directly.
