What is the moment to start with BLE technology on iOS

I need to develop BLE technology. I found several introductions and source code:

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Category:IPhone4SBLEDemo

but I did not find any tutorial to start from scratch using this technology (CoreBluetooth framework) from choosing a sensor for testing, as well as WWDC 2011

Is there any tutorial to get started with BLE technology on iOS?

Many thanks!

Unfortunately, not so much for the basic bluetooth infrastructure, as it is relatively new. I would suggest getting a very clear idea of ​​how low energy bluetooth works before writing any code.

Some decent resources:

Research around this site to begin to see where the services and features are located, and what they do.

http://developer.bluetooth.org/gatt/Pages/GATT-Specification-Documents.aspx

This site has the actual firmware implementation code for the services that you will see on bluetooth sites, as well as a more detailed explanation of how these things work with the attached documentation.

If all this makes sense to you, I would get the device and start hacking. The bluetooth core has little documentation, but is heavily delegated. You will find that as soon as you begin to discover services in the delegate methods, discovering and using attribute values ​​is a piece of cake.

You should look at the following:

Here is an example code where you can start:

An example of a temperature sensor from Apple.

Also make sure you are logged in to Apple’s Provisiong Developer profile to test your application on your iPhone.

Hope this helps.
