In theory, you could just call -[BluetoothManager pairedDevices] (https://github.com/nst/iOS-Runtime-Headers/blob/master/PrivateFrameworks/Blu... <https://github.com/nst/iOS-Runtime-Headers/blob/master/PrivateFrameworks/BluetoothManager.framework/BluetoothManager.h>) of the private BluetoothManager framework. However, it would only work if you sign your app with some com.apple.BTServer.* entitlements (see Preferences.app for comparison), which you can only do when you deploy to a device with a Jailbreak. Also, no app in the App Store should have these Entitlements, so no app should be able to get this list on a recent iOS version. Why do you need to get this list? Cheers Matthias

Hi all,

How can we retrieve a list of Bluetooth 2 / 2.1 "classic" devices which the phone is currently paired with and/or connected to? I have seen app-store apps do this, but I can't find any API or code samples which show bluetooth 2 devices. Typically, this includes things like many makes and model of car, and older headsets and speakers.

Apps like Light Blue can only see BT 4 and BLE devices and doesn't show any of the cars I've tested with even when they are paired and connected.

Does scanning for connected/paired bluetooth devices require a different API? I'm quite stuck with this problem - possibly as it's rare to need to scan for such old devices.

Thanks, Nick
