title: Test Bluetooth on iOS
body: <p>I'd really like to start testing my iOS apps Bluetooth capabilities, but have run into a few problems:</p>
  
  <p>I have a device made with a RN-42 module, but it's not the Apple version and I don't have the Apple authentication module at the moment (I ordered it, but shipping from China can take a while). I know what the messages will look like, but can't send them to my iPhone!</p>
  
  <p>I can use the module with my Macbook, but not in the iOS simulator! Apple has taken down all of the documentation related to getting the iOS &lt; 7.0 to use a separate bluetooth dongle, and my efforts have left my 6.1 simulator endlessly spinning on the bluetooth screen.</p>
  
  <p>I'm new to using Bluetooth, so this may be a dumb question...
  Is there a way of getting a bluetooth client device (I have a Mac, another iPhone, and an Android tab) to act as a server module that can send (and receive) Bluetooth data to my iPhone?</p>
  
  <p>Client/Server as per <a href="https://developer.bluetooth.org/DevelopmentResources/Pages/Introduction-to-Bluetooth-Application-Development.aspx" rel="nofollow">developer.bluetooth.org</a></p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
