It doesn't allow file transfers or Syncing via BT. First, I don't know if the phone uses BPP or HCRP, so I'm trying to vend both services and see which matches. Well, neither is found by the phone. Running a slightly modified 'Bluetooth Inquiry Example' on my MacBook I can see that the BPP and HCRP profiles I loaded on the iMac are visible via BT. And using 'Bluetooth Explorer' (the Service Class (Major) has "Rendering" checked) on the iMac, the local device info shows the info from the dictionaries also: 0x0000 = 0x00010005, 0x0001 = {<1126>}, 0x000d = {{{<0100>, 0x20},{<0012>}}}, 0x0100 = "iMacG5 HCRP Printer", 0x0004 = {{<0100>,0x1f},{<0012>}} 0x0000 = 0x00010006, 0x0001 = {<1119>,<1123>,<1118>}, 0x0354 = "NONE", 0x0100 = "iMacG5 BPP Printer", 0x0004 = {{<0100>},{<0003>,0x15},{<0008>}}, 0x0358 = "081248iMac", 0x035a = "iMacDenture", 0x000d = {{{<0100>},{<0003>,0x16},{<0008>}}}, 0x0350 = "image/jpeg,application/PDF,text/plain,text/x-vcard:2.1,text/x-vcard:3.0", 0x0352 = <0000000000000000eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee> I was unable to access the Assigned-Numbers document from Bluetooth.org so there are three questionable entries in the BPP Profile. 1. Has anyone already implemented this functionality? (don't want to reinvent the wheel) 2. Is there a way to see what SDP queries the iMac is receiving? Or is the entire list of services read by the phone and the matching (or failure to match) done on the phone itself? 3. When using Printer Setup Utility and searching for Bluetooth printers, is the Mac searching for HCRP or BPP? I have searched the list and the net but don't know what to try next.

I need to communicate with a device that is sending every minutes some data other bluetooth, this device is looking for a device that publishes a service named "DataAccess". The communicating device use SPP to communicate with other BT devices and it also conforms to the Service Discovery Profile. I've looked to RFCOMMServerSample and I've seen that this sample uses a file called SerialPortDictionary.plist. My main question is now how do I create the plist so that my device can communicate with my computer? This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

OBEX doesn't really have a notion of > timeouts, so there is no API that can help you there. I did that and it works as expected. So, "automatic timeouts" are only possible using low-level BT connections? > you should do all Bluetooth from whatever thread the first Bluetooth > command is send from.

Designing multi-threaded applications is much simpler. Are you sure I can't do it multi-threaded?

Connection timeout + Concurrent connections

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: bluetooth-dev(a)lists.apple.com User-agent: www.mail386.com Hi all, I've created a C application that transfers file to the BT device. I'm using the same constructs as the OBEXSample. I would like to abort transfer if the user of the BT device doesn't acknowledge transfer for more than 10 seconds. Currently it is waiting indefinitely. I haven't seen any function in Obex.h that would adjust such timeout, although there are some timeout error codes as well as timeout response opcodes. Also, I've seen some functions in IOBluetoothUserLib.h where one can adjust timeout, though they are not documented and I believe they are too low level. I was also thinking to fire CFRunLoopTimer after the connection is being made and handle timeout manually, though I would prefer to use something from IOBluetooth framework (if it exists). Any ideas? Also, what is a preferable way to handle concurrent connections (to different BT devices)? Using one thread per connection or one thread for all connections and registering CFRunLoopSource that will trigger a new connection. I've read somewhere that BT stuff should be done only in the main thread. Is this correct?
