How did Pebble official iOS app to get incoming call number?

Question

As I said, Pebble's official iOS app already can get incoming call number as of now. And I would very much like to know how? Which framework should I include and what API should I call to do the same? Because last time I checked, apple still doesn't allow such calls. Maybe it's the newly added api in iOS7?

Answer 1

When the Pebble smartwatch displays the number of an incoming caller, it is not related to the app : it is due to the Bluetooth Profiles implemented by the watch (such as the PBAP profile for example).

The Pebble official app is only used to install new firmwares and watchapps.

Answer 2

I don't believe the Pebble application is getting the incoming phone number. It's being presented to the Pebble watch as part of the incoming phone call bluetooth information, just as a bluetooth headset receives the incoming call number.
