New Guide: Create a Bluetooth LE App for iOS

Looking to learn how to communicate with Bluetooth LE devices in iOS & Swift 3? Well look no further – we’ve got what you’ve been waiting for! Our new guide on the Learning System by Trevor Beaton covers the basics on making your own Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) app using Apple’s Core Bluetooth Framework. You’ll need a basic understanding of Swift and iOS development, but no prior experience with Bluetooth Low Energy is required.

This is a great way for app developers to start using Adafruit Bluefruit boards with iOS. Those new to iOS development can check out our Introduction to iOS Development guide.

    That guide requires a $99 developer’s license. Why doesn’t Adafruit write a guide using free iPad Swift Playgrounds? File a radar if Core Bluetooth doesn’t work in Playgrounds with Adafruit hw–it should. I’d do it but I’m kinda busy right now.
    Only high end BLE toy apps in the store now but the hardware manufacturers provide the app. You can view the source code.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
