I use kBluetoothSDPUUID16ServiceClassDialupNetworking because I see

...

AddressBook use this channel (for the phones I tested). Since this is

...

the same channel as AB, I gracefully free the connection when AB is

...

launched, and re-establish it when it is quit.

how did you find this is the SDPUUID service used by AB ?

Because there *seem* to be standards saying channel ID 1 is kBluetoothSDPUUID16ServiceClassDialupNetworking. And with BluetoothMonitor, it seem AB always connect to channel ID 1 :-/ I guess.... As you said, Apple lacks documentations and guidelines about this.

...

I think this is the better way for application providing the same

...

features as AB in a different way, like BuddyPop or your product.

...

There would be conflicts if people install both your product and

...

BuddyPop, but that's life !

i dont understand something : you mean that you detect the AB.app

launch, close your connection to let AB connect itself ? then at quit,

you reopen your connection ?

i suppose you have done this via NSWorkspace notifications ?

You're right :-) I catch AB launch and Bluetooth File Exchange -- Yann Bizeul - yann at tynsoe.org http://projects.tynsoe.org/ _______________________________________________ bluetooth-dev mailing list | bluetooth-dev@lists.apple.com Help/Unsubscribe/Archives: http://www.lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/bluetooth-dev Do not post admin requests to the list.
