I am new to iOS app development. I have to test an app using BTLE on iOS 8.1 simulator. I am not able to find how to switch on the bluetooth in the simulator. Could any one please help how to test a BTLE based app on the simualtor. Also it be of great help if anyone can answer if paying $99 is mandatory to deploy my app on my iPHone/iPad usinng my MacBook Air?

Systems Details are: OS X 10.9.4 Xcode 6.1 iOS 8.1 Simulator iOS SDK 8.1


Solution

  • Bluetooth Low Energy is not supported in the simulator. You need to test on a real device.

    To install an application onto a device you will need a paid membership of the Apple developer programme
