Had the wrong Service UUID- was using the Ipad's UUID vs the accessory version. Thanks to Ephram and all who helped!

As far as I can tell, this is failing before I even have an RFCOMM channel up, so it's way pre-authentication. I've also found that by tweaking the services I advertise, for instance, adding a generic Serial Port service, I can get it to give me a "Make sure device is on and in range" error instead of the unrecognized device error. I've also noticed that I get the "Make sure the device is on and in range" error right after the ipad asks if we have a link key and we say no, we do not have a link key. My assumption here is that when we respond by saying we do not have a preexisting link key for that BD addr, then negotiations will begin, but it looks like the pairing process is just canceled with a disconnect message. Perhaps I'm making a fundamental mistake about how pairing works? I am able to initiate pairing and authentication from our accessory with no problems.

It means that Authentication was attempted and failed three times in a row. This is strictly an MFI issue. Something is wrong with your authentication process. I hope that I can say that here without getting into trouble. Ephram

Paul,

You might want to check the Apple Bluetooth Guidelines and make sure your device follows them.

Hello, We are part of the MFI program working on a linux-based imaging accessory. Running the bluez stack on the linux side, I am able to initiate , and successfully pair with an Ipad. I can also pair both ways with an Android device with no issues.

However, I am not able to successfully pair when I initiate the process from the Ipad: it fails with "Device is not supported" and I don't know why.

Our device class is 'Imaging, camera' and we advertise the 'Wireless iAP' service. Any suggestions or insight much appreciated.
