iOS应用程序可以在不创建OS X应用程序的情况下通过蓝牙与Mac上的Java应用程序通信吗？

Question

I have an iOS application with a tableview which I would like to send text strings via bluetooth to my Macbook indicating which cell was selected by the user. Both have bluetooth 4.0. This information will be fed into a Java application. From a CoreBluetooth perspective, the iOS device will be a peripheral and my Mac would be the central.

The problem I'm having is around setting up the central. Apple documentation gives a lot detail around building a central manager within a Mac OS X application (xcode, CBCentralManager). However, I'd like the data to be pulled into a Java application running on my Mac.

Do I need to build a Mac OS X application to wrap my Java application to build this type of communication? Should I consider another method of bluetooth communication ie BluetoothManager.Framework? I do not need to submit this to the Apple Store. Is this a TCP/IP problem?

Answer 1

I figured it out. My solution is based on Ray Wenderlich's Network Tutorial for iOS . I created the python server, tethered my iOS device via bluetooth to my Mac, and transmitted messages via port 80 on my Bluetooth PAN IP address. Then I created a Java client to connect to the python server to receive the messages!
