If you want to be able to use BT LE in the iOS simulator you have to provide a dedicated BT dongle for it to use. OS X allocates build in one.

It was my understanding the newer model Macs had built-in BT 4.0 dual-mode support so you should be able to use them without any additional dongles, as long as the NVRAM setting from the Apple Tech Note was applied.

Thanks for pasting in a link. I've been waiting for a known-good solution for a while.
I've acquired and was able to test out the cirago device. It worked out great for me on my older machines, but interestingly doesn't work at all on the MBPR. The blue activity light never comes on, and the simulator just shows a spinner when you try turning on bluetooth.
It would be great to hear if anyone knows of a workaround for this machine. I could just be out of luck, though.

Here is a dongle that works great with the simulator:
It uses the CSR chip. I've tested lots of dongles, and I've only gotten those with CSR chips to work. This dongle works great on 2010 MBP, and also the latest MacMini..
Be sure to set the nvram setting as defined in the iOS technical note, and do a reboot:
Best, -Mark

FWIW, the BlueGiga BLED112 dongle and the one that comes with the TI CC2540DK-MINI kit don't work with the simulator either (even with the tech note changes). The simulator won't even turn on Bluetooth with any of these plugged in.
Be interested in finding one that works with a mid-2011 MBPro.

I have tried the iOgear GBU521 with some changes to the kext file with out any real success. While the simulator recognizes the device as powered on, it does not connect. So someone much have one that works???
