iOS programatically check if Bluetooth on Mac is connected

Question

I am new to iOS programming and working on a project which needs to detect if an iPod touch(or iPhone 4) is connected to a paired Mac via Bluetooth. I do not need to connect it. I just need to check if it is connected and display a log when it gets disconnected. I do not have Bluetooth LE. Also the app would not be running on the Mac so i cannot create a peer-to-peer connection. Also, i cannot use Bluetooth Manager(or any private framework) since the app would need to be accepted by Appstore at some point of time. Any help would be appreciated

Answer 1

It's my understanding that so long as the private framework doesn't break any of Apple's guidelines you would be able to use it in your application. It is only if it DOES break guidelines do you get rejected. Here is an example of another post on SO suggesting the use of the BluetoothManager Framework.
