Hello all am trying to pair HM-10 ble Module with an iPhone but the ble device isn't listed in iPhone while searching . but while trying on an android device i can pair and communicate withe module . anyone please help me whether anything i should do before trying to pair with iPhone
You don't pair BLE devices like a HM-10 with an iOS device in settings. In your app you can use Core Bluetooth to discover and connect to the device. If you want a quick test you can use the free LightBlue Explorer App

I have a requirement of searching the available bluetooth devices and get paired with them for file transfer using my App. Although I knew that Apple doesn't support the feature of connecting iOS device to other devices using Bluetooth. The default frameworks like CoreBluetooth, GameKit, etc doesn't allow such features. So my questions are:-
Is there any private API that allow to search , pair and connect to devices other than iOS
devices?
If I use any private API , will my App be approved at the time of Submission to App Store?
Any help would be appreciated.
I worked on detecting nearest BLE 4.0 ios devices using corebluetooth by referring this link
http://olesitune.mine.nu/blelogg/?page_id=180
It's not detecting any ios device.can anyone provide some information regarding this.
Thanks in advance
Are you using iOS 6? Only iOS 6 has support for setting the iOS device as server/peripheral. Remember that you can not discover any BLE devices from iOS just using the standard bluetooth settings, you have to write an app for both sides of the communication.
That guide will not help you discover any iOS devices, only standard BLE devices like heart rate monitors, temperatur sensors and such if you don't have an iOS6 device which is configured as a peripheral device.
I see that you have also posted this question elsewhere, but please submit some of your project code, results, debug data before expecting any helpful answers
I have an app which has to connect to a medical bluetooth device to get data from that device. (Not to any iOS device).
Using which framework or class I can connect and receive data from?
Thanks.
After you get an MFi license, you then have to have an Apple supplied authentication chip on the bluetooth device. You must create custom protocols to transfer the data.
The BT on iOS is locked down and you can only access simple AVRCP events inside an app, no data transfer is allowed, except using GameKit (which only works between iOS devices).
UPDATE:
If you are using a BLE device then you can checkout this, it is iOS 5 only though.

Are you planning to develop this app with a jailbreak device?
If not, you have to enroll the MFI(Made For iPhone) program, then you can define your custom protocol and use the ExternalAccessory framework to communicate with your device.
If yes, take a look at Btstack project.
I want to be able to test my app while walking around my house, wirelessly. Can you connect the iphone to xcode thru wifi?
No. To load and debug you must use the USB interface.
im using iphone sdk 3.1.2
Does anyone know how to programatically obtain the name of a Bluetooth device
that is connected to the iphone. I am using Bluetooth in my app and want to
display the name of the paired device ie if it was a Nokia BH-200 i can display this.
Thanks
Check out the document External Accessory Framework Reference. That might allow you to do something but you'll have to play with it to see what values you can get from it. Let me know if it works.
Your Nokia BH-200 is not a MFi verified accessory. It is only connected as A2DP/AVRCP/HFP/HSP. These are not related to MFi accessory communication. And iOS app cannot communicate with this pure Bluetooth device. It's not the problem of External Accessory Framework.
