Currently I have a device with the following details: Ic Version - 2, Variant - CE AA , Build Code - D0, Hardware Id - 004d I am using the softdevice s110_nrf51822_7.0.0_softdevice.hex , nRF SDK 6.1.

I am trying to test

HID keyboard App

I am able to connect to the Ipad but I am not seeing any HID keyboard when I open a note pad.

Also one more.

There needs a certain situation to send this "eject button". I will give you 3 situations.

1. After connection, the user did not opened an app that requires typing (like notepad)

send "eject key". -> Send "hello" -> Open the notepad -> The keyboard does not appear.

2. After connection, the user opened an app that requires typing

Suppose the keyboard didn't appeared. -> Send "eject key" -> keyboard pops up

-> send "hello" -> (when using iOS 8.1) the keyboard disappears again. (Check this, please).

3. After connection, the user opened an app that requires typing

Send "hello" -> keyboard disappears -> send "eject key" -> keyboard appears

(but does not disappear even you send "hello" again)

This was observed when I tested with iOS 8.1 and I did this almost 4 months ago.

So please check again and I hope you can get the anticipating results of yours.
