I am struggling with this problem for last 2 days.What I need to do is that i need to transfer data between iPhone and Windows (i.e any other OS, for now i am using Nokia mobile to that). I have gone through this link. Also I had success in that...
I am able to discover my iPhone in my Nokia device, and when I click "ADD" in Nokia a 6 digit number is sent to iPhone, and here problem starts. I don't know what to do next.
I am using private framework BluetoothManager. Please help me as I am not able to get any documentation on BluetoothManager.framework.
I don't know how to use methods in BluetoothManager.h.
A link to any documentation would be a great help.
For data transfer using your application between iPhone and another phone , you will have to go over SPP profile , in iPhone this is not available to everyone.
You will have to get access to the Apple MFi program to get access to it and it also requires adding an Apple Authentication chip on the device you are trying to connect with.

I’ve recently downloaded an installed Icenium Graphite (free for 30 days) on my Windows 7, 64 bit. I’ve created a new project (Cross-Platform Device Application jQueryMobile).
My iPhone is plugged in and I can see my device in the Devices panel at the bottom of the IDE.
When I Run-->On device, I obtain an error which basically tells me that I don’t have any provisions.
After several searches, articles and youtube videos, I still can’t get my head around this.
I’ve logged into the apple developer center. It appears I need to enroll and pay 99$ a year as an individual.
If my plan is to eventually publish my application to the Apple Store than I understand the 99$/year fee but if my goal is to simply test locally on my iPhone how can I do this without enrolling?
Is it even possible or the 99$/year is a must regardless if I only plan on testing locally?
If anyone could help me shed some light on this that would be great!
Sincerely
PS: My iPhone is not jailbroken so I can’t use the approaches found in some articles I’ve read.
You can use Icenium Ion to run your app on your iPhone without the need of provision. You can get it from here - https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/icenium-ion/id527547398?mt=8 Also, you don't need to jailbreak your phone to use the app.
What you need to do is the following:
Run Graphite, open your project, connect your device, verify that Graphite recognizes it and fire up Ion on your mobile device. Your app should be loaded automatically. Also, check if in Graphite Ion LiveSync is enabled for your device.
You can check docs.icenium.com for even more details.
Hope that helps.
I Have an app with 2 versions.... iPaint1 (FreeVersion) & iPaint2(Paid Version)
iPaint 2 has extra features along with the features of iPaint1..
if user have iPaint1 & also if he installed Paint2.
Now we need to display An alert when user launch/uses paint2. Alert will be pop up as
"You already have all features of paint1 in this 2nd version, Delete Paint1 to free space"
only if iPain1 is existed in our device, otherwise no need of alert How is it possible.
(I guess we may achieve this this using AppStore ID & Bundle Identifier but not sure and don't know the process)
Thanks in advance
But It is works on simulator but not in iPod
Answer :
Finally i Got solution in #MDT 's answer. thank u #MDT and others as well.
Thank you for your quick response.. This link is useful for this question.
Is it possible to get information about all apps installed on iPhone?
and in
http://www.iphonedevsdk.com/forum/iphone-sdk-development/22289-possible-retrieve-these-information.html#post101753
But It is works on simulator but not in iPod any advice pls.
Without jailbreaking, there is no way for an app to directly get a
list of all installed apps on an iOS device.

Your best alternative may to be use of custom URL schemes. With these you can implement a link in your free app that opens the paid one if it is installed.
You should use custom URL scheme. Provide some custom URL to free App. Now on the starting of paid App, check if it can responds to the custom URL of your free App. If it can, there exists a free version on the device and display the message to remove it.
A further question about Bluetooth and iPhone.
Is it possible to discover nearby "non-ios" devices via bluetooth programmatically? The device uses the Hands-free-Profile. When I go like "General > Bluetooth > On" it works fine and I can pair with it. And thats exactly what I want to do but in my own App. I know the official SDK doesn`t support it. So my questions are:
When I`m member of the "Made for iPod"-Program, will I have access to the Hands-free-Profile API?
Important: The device already exists and I have no influence on it. So no possibility to implement
a special ship or so.
Another opportunity I found is the Private Framework BluetoothManager.h. Is it possible to
discover/pair the device with an iPhone?
In one sentence: I want to build an app that exactly does what the Bluetooth-function in the iPhone settings does. Possible?
Thank you
I want to build an app that exactly does what the Bluetooth-function in the iPhone settings does. Possible?
No, it is not possible with official APIs, even if you are a part of the Made for iPhone program.
In one sentence: I want to build an app that exactly does what the Bluetooth-function in the iPhone settings does. Possible?
A preliminary search didn't find the official rule about it, but Apple specifically forbids apps that duplicate the functionality of their built-ins. So, no, your app will almost certainly not get approved.
And I'm pretty sure the T&C forbid interaction with non-Apple-approved devices, but I'm not sure whether they strictly apply that to bluetooth things.
Yes , using the bluetooth private APIs. You can get a list of remote devices, each a BluetoothDevice object, and use the afferent methods to pair or connect.
My Android app stores its SQLite database on the SD card, so that when the phone is connected to a PC my desktop application can access it using an ODBC driver. Is a similar technique possible on the iPhone?
I know that iPhones do not have SD cards.
I use iTunes file sharing to access sqlite DBs on both the iPhone and iMac; iTunes moves the data. Enabled in the plist
As it has been said, it can't be done.
However what you could do is to embed a small Web Server into your App, and let the users to download the DB ( or even visualize it ), via WiFi on their homes/work. This approach would work for Windows/Mac/Linux users, and several apps are already doing it this way.
Good luck!
Not built-in, unfortunately. You'll have to roll your own Wi-Fi syncing system. You could use iCloud when it comes out in the fall, but that only works on Macs for now.
SQLite is present in the iPhone SDK, but there's no way to flag a file stored by your application as being visible to the file system when you plug your iPhone into the computer. As stated already by Chris Long, Apple's answer to this criticism is iCloud, which allows you to do synchronisation between arbitrarily many devices without cables, but that isn't available yet. The iOS 5 beta is available to registered developers and is publicly known to function with iCloud, so you could start developing now.
More painful temporary alternatives are to email the database out (there's a supplied way to do in-app email) or to expect your user to drag and drop the thing out of iTunes.
I want to build my iPhone app only using device ID without connecting the device to my apple PC. Can I do this?
You can use the simulator, and never develop on the device. Is that what you mean? I wouldn't like to be one of your customers when I bought that app from the appstore in that case though - there would be so many defects.
If you don't mean that, how would you get the app on your device? I'm confused.
Are you suggesting that you do not want to test your app on a real device before releasing it? Please don't do that. There are a lot of differences when testing the app on a device or on simulator.
If you want to create a build for adhoc testing without connecting a device to your mac, you can do that by simply creating a mobileprovision file for adhoc testing where you can specify upto 100 device ids. For this you need to be a member of the Apple Developer Program though.
If I read your question right, you want to put your app on your phone without actually connecting your phone?
If so, it is not possible. You must connect your phone to load applications you develop.
if you are registered iPhone developer, u can create Ad Hoc distribution via defining device ids that you want the app to be used (steps are listed at 'Program Portal User Guide' at apple's developer site). then u can install the app on your device via iTunes.
Well, you can't install just based on the device number or something else.
There are two solutions:
1/But what you can do without plugging the phone is to Post your App on some testing platform like TestFlight, or Answers. And you enter users' email address and they can get the email.
2/You can set up a config file that declare your OS X Server address. And add the iPhone into your Server Open Directory. Then you can send and deploy the app to iPhone devices.
If you have future questions, comment.
