With Practical BLE Development for iOS, you’ll learn about BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) and how it can be used on the iOS platform. You’ll also do a deep dive into the architecture of the implementation of the Bluetooth 4 stack and see examples of real-world communication with external hardware. With this book, you will also learn about hardware development, in particular the BLE 112A chipset. You’ll even build various example projects such as building a mobile scientific instruments platform to show sensor integration and motor control. This book will also cover iBeacon from multiple vendors, the provided SDK’s from the vendors, as well as concrete examples to use them with iOS devices. - In depth coverage of BLE on iOS Examples of the Bluetooth 4 stack and iBeacon on iOS platforms and the respective APIs available for Application Developers Concrete examples integrating hardware and software using iOS devices and even Arduino
