Hi Everyone,
We understand that in order for iOS to show the system prompt which asks a user to install a companion app, the HW vendor needs to be an MFi member.
However, we don't quite understand the exact technical requirements. Hopefully, somebody from Apple can clarify: - Is this functionality available for BLE only connections, too? Or does it require BL Classic?
- What exactly is required MFi wise?
- How does the accessory, given that it is a single-mode BLE device, tell iOS which app to install? E.g. how is the bundle or App Store ID transmitted?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
