Hi Daniel
GameKit is closed-source and undocumented, like most stuff on iOS which is not described in detail in Apple's otherwise excellent documentation. Basically, GK identifies another iOS device somehow, creates a PAN/BNEP network and then uses Bonjour to find the service listed on the other device. I don't know if the communication that follows is encrypted or not. If you figure anything out, please let me know. :)
If rooting your iPhone is an option for your project, you can use btstack.org on the iPhone which provides a regular Bluetooth stack for embedded devices.
Best
Matthias
