There is currently no public API to do that. As you've discovered, the Bluetooth Setup Assistant in Tiger does automatically create a serial port for you for the first Serial Port Profile it finds on the device. Our recommendation is to not use the TTY interface for talking to Serial Port Profile devices. It is much better to use the RFCOMM APIs and communicate directly using the IOBluetooth framework. There are examples on how to do this in the Bluetooth examples folder. I'm developing an application that will discover and pair with my Bluetooth device. Using the IOBluetoothPairingController class, I can successfully pair with the device. However, I also need to have a serial port created (the device supports the serial port profile). This does not not happen as a result of the pairing operation. I did noticed that when I use the Bluetooth Setup Assistant to pair with my device, a serial port is created. So, it appears that the Bluetooth Setup Assistant is doing more than just pairing with the device. What is it doing? How can I create the serial port from within my application? I'm currently developing on Mac OS X 10.4, but will need to support Mac OS X 10.3 as well. This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

Re: Tiger & Bluetooth Serial Utility

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: bluetooth-dev(a)lists.apple.com User-agent: Microsoft-Entourage/9.0.6.8320 > how to re-create the serial ports they used under Panther. ... Is there > anything I should advise these people to try, or is there likely to be a Tiger > version of the Bluetooth Serial Utility? System Preferences > Bluetooth > Devices > Edit Serial Now in Mac OS X v10.4.3 / Apple Bluetooth Software 1.6.6 it seems to be possible to select all RFCOMM based services if you hold the option key. So if your device has a bad service database, this will help as in the past. But there is one limitation (bug). A port with a serial port based service has to be created first. Then hit OK, Edit Serial again with the Option key and now it is possible to select all RFCOMM based services for this port. This is a problem if the device has no serial port based service. I have a Bluetooth LAN Access Router here (LAP, PAN) and it is not possible to create a port, because the LAP is not shown without the option key and no other profile is there. It is impossible to create a port with the option key and you have to use the old Serial Port Utility. Yes I know LAN should be done via AirPort but people are using this and it works great since day one. Really wonder why there is no better support for it - for example hidden in the Assistant under other devices. At the end a new port is created bound to LAP and one of the NullModem scripts is chosen. Voila. That is all. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
