Why won't Apple let Leica Disto connect to iPad & iPhone?

I am a surveyor/designer, I take all site measurements using a Lieca Disto and write them on paper. There is software available to link Distos to Anroid tablets but according to Leica apple won't license them to connect via bluetooth to their products. Does anyone know why, or can Apple comment please as it would be so useful, the only alternative otherwise is to go out and buy Android equipment!

These are user-to-user forums and they are not monitored by Apple (there are too many forums/threads/mesages for that), and you won't get any response from them here. If Apple havn't released a reason why then nobody on here will know. There are limited bluetooth profiles that are currently supported by iOS devices, and they are listed on this page. Have you asked Leica as to what they say that they've been told as to why Apple won't license it ?
