There has been some discussion on the list recently about needing APIs
which are not currently supported. I want to take the opportunity to
clarify a couple of things:
We the Bluetooth developers at Apple do monitor this list and try to
provide feedback to questions as we can. From time to time there will
be requests for things which we do not currently support, and may or
may not intend to support in the future (SCO, Java APIs, Kernel APIs
for certain pieces are just a few recent examples).
This list is a good place to make things known to the Bluetooth
developer team at Apple, but is not the best nor the only place. At
Apple we use technology evangelists to keep track of external developer
needs, help us to internally monitor what our external developers want,
and what things we at Apple can do to serve the most people with our
limited time and resources.
Given this, I would like to introduce Craig Keithley as the Bluetooth
evangelist at Apple. In his role as technology evangelist, Craig is
the appropriate point of contact at Apple for making known your desires
for more APIs and different programming interfaces to the Bluetooth
code from Apple. For requests for future API support please keep Craig
in mind and send him your requests for new APIs as well as enhancements
to the current APIs. Craig will coalesce all these requests, and help
my team and the marketing team meet the constant demands between end
customer goals, developer needs and bug fixes.
As Apple's external contact Craig is in the best position to gather
this information and present a unified case for all developers to add
new API support for Bluetooth technology.
You can contact Craig at:

We are still interested in hearing questions, as well as requests for
new APIs and needs here on the mailing list. We do not want to get out
of the loop. That said, Craig is the best resource for gathering the
requests, prioritizing the needs of developers and lobbying on your
behalf to prioritize your needs with the other requests from others in
Apple in terms of bug fixes and new features for customers.
