Bluetooth Classic with IOS
-
I need to write an application for ios that can communicate to my external MFi accessory via Bluetooth. I have successfully written an app that works with android (the external accessory supports SPP and iAP2). I want to now cross compile that app for ios. I haven't found much information about Qt 5.8 Bluetooth Classic and ios, but the documents show that this should be supported. Has anybody gotten this to work, or can somebody point me to some documentation.
Thanks!

In case anyone stumbles upon this, I found a solution. I have written a blog post about it that can be found here:

@rdhammond3 seems Apple doesn't support BT SPP https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204387

@ekkescorner I should've specified better. I am using SPP for android which is working. I am using iAP2 protocol (iPod Accessory Protocol) for the ios side.

I guess I just need to know if Apple's External Accessory Protocol (EAP) API is supported through Qt Bluetooth. If so, are there examples/documentation? If not, how is QBluetooth supported for Bluetooth classic on ios? From my understanding, the only to use Bluetooth classic on ios is through the EAP since device discovery and pairing is handled by the OS.

Hello. I have the same problem, I need to create a cross platform app that communicates with a bluetooth device. It supports iap2 and spp. Can you maybe make your project as opensource? It will be very greatfull. Thanks.
