data through bluetooth

Post by prexsoccer » Thu Aug 23, 2012 7:35 am

good day,

could anyone have an idea on how can I pass data through Bluetooth, because I want to create a server to an Ipad in which I can get data or pass data into it through bluetooth with out the presence of internet.

a sample script would be a very big help.

thank you

best regards,
mike

Hi,
AFAIK you can't access the Bluetooth on iOS ...
... to do that you should be in the MFI program, which, unless you're a well-known manufacturer of "accessories", is near impossible :(

Hi Mike,
unfortunately, if you exclude the phisical transfer through iTunes (... documents folder), the only other accessible way is through the WiFi ...

Note that is NOT a LiveCode limitation, but it's a (questionable) Apple decision ! :(
