      Thanks for the tip. Do you know of any code examples that demonstrate

this ?

Hello,

...

I'm new to bluetooth development and I don't know if these are basic

questions or not. I've looked in the header files, etc. and found a
...
...
method .
...
...
+[IOBluetoothDevice registerForConnectNotifications:selector:].

...

I'm developing an application that needs to detect when a user
...
...
selected
...
...
bluetooth device comes within range of a Mac (ex. John has a cell
...
...
phone
...
...
in his pocket and he walks into his office and his  Mac says "Hey I
...
...
just realized that John walked in because I've detected his cell
...
...
phone"). and then perform some user defined action based on that
...
...
'proximity' event. Is there a call available in the API to do this ?
...
...
How would I set this scenario in motion ? Is using the call above on
...
...
the right track or does it only deal with a connection being made.
...

...
The only way to do this is to 'poll' for a device by periodically
...
attempting
...
to connect to it, as the Sony Ericsson Clicker application does. We
...
don't
...
recommend doing this too often though...
