Hi again, i am in need of a solution. I have an app that i am making, right, and i need to make it "seem" like a keyboard. So basically this app triggers remote bluetooth keyboard events. I have no idea to do this.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2)
Like code here
IBAction left
send _keycode 123 to bluetooth connection 1
Triggers remote events where?
I want to push a button on my iPhone app and it sends a keystroke to my computer thru bluetooth.
Ex: Button A is pushed the charecter "A" appears in textedit on my mac
Not exactly what i was looking for. I need to use my iphone as a bluetooth keyboard for my mac.
Bluetooth on iOS has three different functions:
• user level features -- For example, headsets. There is no developer opportunity here (well, you can play audio that comes out the headset, but you know what I mean :-).
• networking -- You can establish a PAN network to other iOS devices with GameKit or Bonjour.
• accessories -- All Bluetooth accessory developers must go through the Made for iPod program. Once you have an MFI device you can then talk to it through ExternalAccessory framework. This is how iOS devices communitate with non-iOS devices, if they can at all...

The 4S has BLE FWIW, which is in concert w/CoreBluetooth.
Thanks for the bundle of info! I will look into the CoreBluetooth and the networking part of the list. I might have to revert to 3rd party librarys. I am not looking to publish this but it is a very good option.
How do I send Bluetooth keyboard events from an iPhone app to a mac
