SPP profile bluetooth iOS

does anyone got a sample code of SPP communication ( serial over bluetooth ) for iOS ? I'd need to communicate between my microchip pic and an iphone or iPod.

I know I need a approved apple bluetooth rs232<->BT dongle and I have some with a MFi contract too ;)

Regards.

Does iOS support Bluetooth SPP?

iOS doesn't support SPP. It won't talk to a Bluetooth device outside of it's very limited profiles, which do NOT include SPP, unless the device has the special Apple ID chip.

What is SPP profile in Bluetooth?

Serial Port Profile (SPP) It's is one of the more fundamental Bluetooth profiles (Bluetooth's original purpose was to replace RS-232 cables after all). Using SPP, each connected device can send and receive data just as if there were RX and TX lines connected between them.

For people like me who were looking at infos.

If you are not going to use Bluetooth LE devices with iOS and the associated corebluetooth, you need a MFi licence and bluetooth module from a certified vendor.

Using those modules does not involve the corebluetooth but another thing. Have a look at the EADemo Demo on how to link to MFi device The linked bluetooth module will be accessible this way.
