For this use case, you should check the iOS 7 Beta forums as we may not discuss that feature here. On 08.07.2013, at 19:01, michael james <mr.m.james@hotmail.co.uk> wrote:
For clarification, because I was about to post a similar question, if the iPhone rings. BLE can be used to notify a remote device. Therefore negating the need to register for the MFI program?
Or is this not considered a custom service?
Thanks

MFi is not required for BLE accessories.
The custom services somehow "guarantee" that your peripheral won't interfere with other apps.
With classic BT, there's the problem that many peripherals use the SPP profile for different purposes, with no clean way to distinguish between them. Therefore, MFi is necessary there.

Hi,
we are creating our own custom service for a BLE hardware we want to use in our iOS app. Does anybody know if we need to apply for the MFI program when we use a custom UUID? I know that usually there is no need to apply for MFI if you connect BLE hardware with the pre defined services like Heart Rate or Blood Pressure. But does this also apply for custom services?
