iOS 8 can't discover device

iOS 8 can't discover device

[Kyle Shneider]

Hello again.

I'm testing bluez 5.33 on raspberry pi. After successfully launching
bluetoothd, powering hci-device up and setting it 'Discoverable' (done
through DBus API) iPad mini can't see it. In other way shitty android
4.1.1 tablet finds raspberry in a moment.
Have i missed something?
Did anyone have successful experience of pairing apple devices and
latest versions of bluez?
BTW ble adapter: cambridge silicon radio.

iOS will only show you devices which implement at least one of the Bluetooth profiles supported by iOS (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204387).
So you need to have appropriate SDP record with supported profile. I would suggest to start with org.bluez.ProfileManager1 D-Bus interface.

Thanks for the answer Andrejs.
I don't understand. What about GATT profile? Can iOS device initialize
pairing via GATT profile?

I think, it is the same - you need to advertise a service supported by iOS in order for the BLE device to appear in standard iOS Bluetooth device list. However, if you write your own app, there is an access to all BLE devices seen around.
Can iOS device initialize

Yes. It worked for me when I tried something like kernel 3.19 and BlueZ 5.32 or so. I was using LightBlue app for my testing.

So after installing latest kernel 4.1.8 problem doesn't solved for me.
On raspberry i launch:
- bluetoothd -nE
- bluez-5.34/test/test-gatt-profile
- bluez-5.34/test/example-gatt-server
- bluez-5.34/test/simple-agent

Neither iOS LightBlue application can't see raspberry nor Android BLE
scanner. Have i missed something?

Have you tried example-advertising? iirc we are not adding any name to
scan response thus it might show with just the address.
