How to show device on IOS's bluetooth setting?

[Thanh Duong]

Hi,

I am using nRF51422 DK with S130 SoftDevice. I modified ble_app_uart example and I saw my board show in bluetooth setting of my android phone but dit not see anything in my iphone 5s.

I found that it seems IOS only show HID and audio devices. So, what configurations I need to see my board in IOS's bluetooth setting?

Thanks & Regards

Hi Thanh,

Could you give some more information about your application ? Do you plan to have an app to interface with your device ? For non HID and audio, it's recommended to use your own app to connect instead of using Bluetooth Setting.

As far as I know if you want to use Bluetooth setting to connect, you need to add the HID service in the advertising packet and you should have HID profile in your attribute table as well.

Hi Hung,

I just want to make a device which stores some information, the device have BLE so any smart phone can connect to it to read or edit these information.

Yes, I will have a special app to connect to the device but I want to see the device in Bluetooth setting... just to know the device is running :)

I will try to add the HID service and HID profile. Thanks.
