iOS Question iBLE - supports incoming connections?

[Arf]

Hi,
I have a Microchip RN4677 dual mode bluetoof module in my product, and need to develop an iOS app for it.
With bluetooth 2.1, my handheld product establishes a link with a listening android device, and they talk.

The BT module supports making a BLE connection to a second identical module, the only imput to establish the connection is a MAC address of the second module.

So, I was thinking if I could make an iphone offer/advertise the same services as this module does, then perhaps the BT module in my unit will be able to establish a connection with the iphone in a similar manner.

I would just like to know if anyone sees any impossibilities with what i just wrote, so as to not waste my time trying.

Thanks

I assume that your Bluetooth module supports central mode, right?

iBLE library does support peripheral mode however it implemented in a specific way which will not allow you to imitate that module.

Yep, my module supports central.

OK, is there no other library or way I can use to to try imitate my module? If not, I'll have to completely change the way the device works in iOS, which is a right pain but doable nonetheless.

Currently no.
