Hi Eric, This API will be available in Tiger. If you have access to a developer seed of Tiger, you can start using it now. It is available in the form of an IOBluetoothDeviceInquiry object. The relevant file should be here: /System/Library/Frameworks/IOBluetooth.framework/Headers/objc/ IOBluetoothDeviceInquiry.h Hopefully it will meet your needs. Jason bubba@apple.com

I saw this on an old thread in the archives, wrt discovering remote bluetooth

devices not yet 'paired':

< I guess I was wondering if I wanted to write an app without a GUI, how

...

I would find devices without using the various service and device

...

selector panels? But what you're saying is that "Apple have create GUI

...

based utilities for inquiring about remote devices."

You are correct - you could not do it. You will need to display a panel at

some point for the user to select a device/service. Unless you wanted to use

the raw device address, which is less than optimal. We do hope to release an

API to do this. If the lack of this API this is absolutely prohibitive to

what you are trying to do, let us know and we'll escalate its importance on

the to-do list.>>

Was wondering if this API has ever come to pass, either in beta or

elsewhere. I have no gui (am entirely command-line driven), and I

need to make a discovery of what's in the vicinity of my my mac w/o

user interaction.... so this API would be great.

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

-Eric
