iOS 5.1 toggle Bluetooth by BluetoothManager

Question

I want to try out the BluetoothManager. But I am really confused after reading and testing all the entries here.

First, I found in

Xcode/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS5.1.sdk/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/BluetoothManager.framework

the needed Framework. But there was only the binarie file there. So I add a "Headers" folder and put the BluetoothManager.h file in it.

In my project, I add this framework, but it couldn't find any BluetoothManager.h file, so I get an error, if I use

#import "BluetoothManager.h"

or

#import <BluetoothManager/BluetoothManager.h>

I want to use the following code to start BT:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    // Override point for customization after application launch.
#if TARGET_IPHONE_SIMULATOR
    exit( EXIT_SUCCESS ) ;
#else
    /* this works in iOS 4.2.3 */
    Class BluetoothManager = objc_getClass( "BluetoothManager" ) ;
    id btCont = [BluetoothManager sharedInstance] ;
    [btCont setPowered:YES] ;
#endif
    return YES ;
}

I had tried also all the ideas here:

here or here or here

Has any one a realy good idea, a tutorial or a really running example for using (PrivateFramework/)BluetoothManager to toggle Bluetooth on iPhone, SKD 5.1?

Thank you very much.

Answer 1

You can generate the header files using class-dump tools from github

Or copy/paste the below content(I generated for IOS 5.1) into BluetoothManager.h and add that file in your project. Then you should not see the error.

Answer 2

Here is a tutorial I wrote: http://www.pocketmagic.net/?p=2827 .

It shows how to configure Xcode with the BluetoothManager framework, then how to use these private apis to turn on/off bluetooth, discover nearby devices or connect to a remote bluetooth device. Tested with iOS 5.1

Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
