title: Serial or HID (usb) Communication in iOS (iPhone/iPad)
body: <p>I want to get data from glucose meter devices by connecting into iPhone or iPad devices. I have different vendors glucose meters some uses simple HID interface for communicate and other uses serial communication.</p>
  
  <p>These are the two possible ways of communication:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>USB to 30-Pin connector.</li>
  <li>3.5 jack to 30-Pin Connector.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>USB or 3.5 jack will be connected to glucose meter and 30 pin connector will be attached with iDevice.</p>
  
  <p>After having hours of research I did not find much help on internet for iOS specific.</p>
  
  <p>I do find ORSSerialPort but I think it is for OS X apps only. </p>
  
  <p>There is RedPark serial Cable but that is for RS232 to 30-Pin communication and secondly that can be only used in internal projects. I want to sell my application on Apple Store.</p>
  
  <p>Someone also was discussing about using IOKit framework. We can communicate with iDevie but that is private framework.</p>
  
  <p>Someone help me with this issue or let me know if that is even possible in iOS application. </p>
  
  <p>Do Apple have any consideration on this type of working?</p>
