Hi Craig, I'm positive I'm not running the dispatch queue because until I saw this message I didn't even know what it was. I realize it may be out of scope for this list, but could you point me in the right direction in how to properly run the dispatch queue from a command line application. I looked at some of the docs, but got more confused. Here is what my stripped-down main function looks like, if it helps: #import <Foundation/Foundation.h> #include "BluetoothManager.h" int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) { @autoreleasepool { BluetoothManager *mgr = [[BluetoothManager alloc] init]; CBCentralManager *manager = [[CBCentralManager alloc] initWithDelegate:mgr queue:nil]; while(1) { // insert code here... printf("Waiting...\n"); sleep(1); printf("Manager State: %ld\n", manager.state); } } return 0; } Thanks for your help, Christian On Sun, Jun 24, 2012 at 2:28 PM, Craig Dooley <cdooley@apple.com> wrote:

Hi Christian, Everything in CoreBluetooth is tied to a dispatch queue.  Is your app running the dispatch queue, or just quitting at the end of main?

Hi,

I am trying to use CoreBluetooth from a command line application so that I can quickly try out different things without getting too hung up on making GUIs while I become familiar with CoreBluetooth and get my bluetooth back-end working.

Initially, I'm trying to get CBCentralManager functionality going. No matter what I do I cannot get my centralManagerDidUpdateState delegate to get called when I try to do this in a command line application. However, this always works whenever I do it from a GUI application. I admit, I'm pretty new at MacOS X development, so I may be missing something totally obvious. Does anyone have any tips on getting this to work from a command line application?

I have created two bare-bones apps to try and figure it out, one a command line app, the other a trivial GUI app. I stripped each app to its bare essentials so I could try to isolate the problem. I can post the code for both if it would help to see what I'm trying to do and to see what works and what doesn't.

Thanks, Christian _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
