Do we have to provide Apple with the hardware BLE device to test our app? Thanks, AC _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

This raises an interesting question, though. According to this unofficial blog post, one of the major reasons of App Store programs being rejected is for using continuous vibration in your application: http://10base-t.com/unofficial-appstore-rejection-criteria/ Now I can think of many uses with BLE peripherals for which you'd actually want continuous vibration enabled on your phone. For example, say you've got a BLE peripheral in your wallet to alert you if you forget it somewhere. You'd probably want the phone to vibrate continuously if your wallet becomes separated from your phone, so you can be alerted even if you've got the phone in your pocket and are in a loud environment. Is this a valid and acceptable use for continuous vibration, or would this sort of application be rejected from the App Store?

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: bluetooth-dev(a)lists.apple.com Hi Poon, There are technically very few limitations to what you can do in background mode. So, yes should be possible. You could try by calling AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(kSystemSoundID_Vibrate) while in the background.

Re: BLE link lost on iPhone 4S

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: bluetooth-dev(a)lists.apple.com Hi Cheong, At a disconnect, you should get a call to the centralManager:didDisconnectPeripheral:error: on your CBCentralManagerDelegete delegate. Please note that you have to set the CBConnectPeripheralOptionNotifyOnDisconnectionKey in the options dictionary when calling connectPeripheral:options: on the CBCentralManager instance. Hope that works out for you. Let me know if you have any issues.
