I was thinking of developing an iPhone and android application so that they can share data between each other via bluetooth. Is it possible? If yes how?
Thanks for your help

Although the iPhone has built-in Bluetooth technology, wireless file transfer capabilities are limited by its operating system. To transfer files wirelessly between an iPhone and an Android device, both devices must be running the same third-party Bluetooth file transfer application.
On your Android device, open the Move to iOS app. If you don't have the Move to iOS app, you can tap the QR code button on your new iOS device and scan the QR code using the camera on your Android device to open the Google Play Store. Tap Continue, and read the terms and conditions that appear. To continue, tap Agree.
If you wish to transfer files from your iPhone to Mac and vice versa via Bluetooth, you must turn on Bluetooth on both devices. For your Mac, go to the Bluetooth dashboard and turn it on. After that, you should pair the two devices with Bluetooth also turned on in your iPhone.
The Question from user1080731 was - Is it possible to transfer Files Via Bluetooth between Android and iPhone.
And I think that the answer is NO.
The App referred to in the previous responses does not seem to use Bluetooth (the App's description is misleading) In the demo video for the app - It used Bluetooth when talking between 2 iOS devices, but uses WiFi when talking between Android and iPhone.
in iOS the only possibility is to use the GameKit APIs (primarily meant for peer to peer gaming) to talk to other iOS device using Bluetooth. So you can potentially write an App over this API to do file transfer between iOS devices, (But Gamekit will not work for iOS to Android)
