1 个解决方案

BLE devices do not require Apple's MFi Program certification (which is apparently $20k+). BLE设备不需要Apple的MFi计划认证（显然是2万美元以上）。 Your only costs would be standard iOS Developer Program ($100) and the cost of developing the actual app to communicate with your BLE device. 您唯一的成本是标准iOS开发人员计划（100美元）以及开发实际应用程序与您的BLE设备通信的成本。

From Apple's MFi FAQ : 来自Apple的MFi常见问题解答：

I want to develop an accessory that communicates with an Apple device using only Bluetooth Low Energy. 我想开发一种仅使用蓝牙低功耗与Apple设备通信的附件。 Do I need to join the MFi Program? 我是否需要加入MFi计划？

No. Accessories which connect to an Apple device using only Bluetooth Low Energy/BTLE/Bluetooth 4.0 or standard Bluetooth profiles supported by iOS are not part of the MFi Program. 否。仅使用蓝牙低功耗/ BTLE /蓝牙4.0或iOS支持的标准蓝牙配置文件连接到Apple设备的附件不属于MFi计划。
