We did try to install the linux version of Lighblue on the iphone and it does not work. We are trying now to use the OS X port, using Xcode 3 on leopard and bringing it over the phone.

The lightblue isn't supported by Leopard so you might get compiling problems, but its still worth the shot. I'll try out OpenOBEX an let you guyz know how it goes.

Did you have any luck with this?

As BigBuckz says Lightblue 0.2.3 has compatibility problem with leopard that we are trying to go round as it looks the most promising way to port it to iphone.

Blammit is releasing a new version soon that should work with leopard and add new features and we are in talks about it.

It's good to have few other attempts like Openobex.

The BlueZ seems also a good avenue. If you managed to implement HCI it's a good step forward. Any feedback on that? Can you give us some more details?

In summary... not yet

BLUETOOTH IS A MUST!

Like the IDea! I will try at lightblue too!

The OBEX server seems relatively easy to port
I will come back with some feedbacks

Anyway, I managed to partially decompile the MobileBluetooth framework with ravel-arm and found a number of potentially useful functions (including BTDiscoveryAgentStartScan, BTDiscoveryAgentGetDevices). The unfortunate thing is that I have no idea how to use these functions, or even how many/what kind of arguments they need. Does anybody have any clues as to how to use these functions?

As a start, the following code I came up looks like it might be steering in the right path:

Code:

id BTManager;
struct BTDiscoveryAgentImpl *_discoveryAgent;

[BluetoothManager initialize];
BTManager = [BluetoothManager sharedInstance];

[BTManager setDeviceScanningEnabled:TRUE];
[BTManager setConnectable:TRUE];
	
object_getInstanceVariable(BTManager, "_discoveryAgent", &_discoveryAgent);

BTDiscoveryAgentStartScan(_discoveryAgent);

The only tool I have to know whether I might be doing something right is whether or not I get a segmentation fault when running these code snippets. The problem is that I have no idea where to start with BTDiscoveryAgentGetDevices (I'm not sure, but I think it might take three arguments). Does anyone else have ideas of how I can attack this? I think it might be somewhat similar to the Java implementation of this framework.

How is sending a picture of your brother breaching copyright? Madness!

i completely understand the copyright breach stuff.
seriously, considering that the phone has capability of downloading music, videos, pictures, ringtones, games (all legit - by paying $$). if you could bluetooth all that stuff then its breaching copyright laws and they would not profit.

not that im condoning the fact that file transfers should be banned. i completely oppose it. i want my ringtones, pictures, videos, music from my friends because of the convenience.
theres no sharing/pairing apps with iphones right now and it sucks.

i dunno, im new to this. just my 2c

Hy guys!

I'm very happy to hear that there are people working to get this important function!!

Does anybody has any news about your process ??

thanks!@
