I am developing an app the uses an external accessory (and am using the EAAccessory framework). Everything works great, except for the instance when the iDevice powers on while the accessory is plugged into the dock. It recognizes the accessory for a short time -- usually 10-15 seconds, then a "EAAccessoryDidDisconnectNotification" is sent for my accessory, and right after a "EAAccessoryDidConnectNotification" is sent with an "unknown" device. When I ask what accessories are connected, I get the following output:
" {\n connected:YES\n connectionID:0x825600\n name: \n manufacturer: \n modelNumber: \n serialNumber: \n firmwareRevision: \n hardwareRevision: \n protocols: (\n)\n delegate: (null)\n}"
So, it can tell that something is connected, just not the device that is connected. If you have an accessory, you can test this easily using the EADemo
Any ideas?
It turned out to be a faulty cable and it worked with a different cable.
