If you're considering a MFi Bluetooth implementation, though, you should also be aware that these accessories can only be manufactured by companies that have been granted a "MFi Manufacturing License" by Apple. As explained in the "Apple MFi Program Enrollment - Frequently Asked Questions" page (http://mfi.apple.com/faqs), only MFi Manufacturing Licensees can purchase production quantities of the critical "MFi Components", and only those companies will be able to submit those designs to Apple for certification. The faq also explains that Apple will only grant the "MFi Manufacturing License" to companies that own a high-volume manufacturing facility. Therefore, if you want to sell your new MFi Bluetooth product commercially, you'll have to work with one of the companies holding a MFi Manufacturing License. A list of these companies is available to licensed MFi developers.

It is not applicable for BLE operations if you are planning for that. AFAIK there is no approved profile or service for BLE that provides such functionality. To implement bluetooth services you need to enter the MFi program. For BLE you don't. Regards, Andras On 2012.11.18., at 14:32, Alexander Traud <alex@traud.de> wrote:
The basic goal is to have an iOS app be able to do something when a new text message, email, or call comes in.
Message-Access Profile (MAP) is about notifying a connected car-kit (or any remote device) about a new message. Furthermore, the remote device can send a new SMS via this API to the GSM network, for example. No iOS app involved.
