Having finally acquire a BLE adapter and gone through the NVRAM setup
and seeing that it has worked (see below, system connecting to the internal BLE,
leaving the external for the simulator), it now would appear that the simulator
is unable to see the external adapter and “turn it on”!
Running the example code [centralManager state] is consistently
returning CBCentralManagerStatePoweredOff. All attempts to use settings on the
simulator just result in the rotating (waiting for update) wheel.
The external adapter I have (from CSR, I have 2 and both behave the
same way) is obviously powered up, as there is a flashing blue light.
Where am I going wrong, are there any admin issues, perhaps my instance
of the simulator doesn’t have sufficient authority to access the external
adapter?

These steps work for me with the Cirago BTA8000 adapter:
- ensure that the BLE dongle is not plugged in
- ensure that the simulator is not running
- issue the appropriate NVRAM command (eg. "never")
- plug in the BLE dongle
- launch the simulator application
