Getting MAC address of a bluetooth using BluetoothManager private framework

Question

I'm trying to implement device discovery using bluetooth in IOS 5.0.1 iPhone 4S. I'm using the private framework BluetoothManager.

My code is:

- (IBAction)searchForDevices:(id)sender
{
    [self.indicator setHidden:NO];


    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self    selector:@selector(bluetoothAvailabilityChanged:)     name:@"BluetoothAvailabilityChangedNotification" object:nil];

    btCont = [BluetoothManager sharedInstance];

    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self     selector:@selector(deviceDiscovered:) name:@"BluetoothDeviceDiscoveredNotification"     object:nil];
}

- (void)bluetoothAvailabilityChanged:(NSNotification *)notification
{
    self.label.text = @"Availability changed!";
    [btCont setDeviceScanningEnabled:YES];
}

- (void)deviceDiscovered:(BluetoothDevice *)device
{

    [self.indicator setHidden:YES]; 
    self.label.text = device.address;

My bluetooth headset is discovered. deviceDiscovered callback function is called, but device.address does NOT contain the MAC address of the bluetooth device. The app is crashing. Also, device.name return the name of the notification (BluetoothDeviceDiscoveredNotification) instead of the name of the device discovered.

Any suggestions how can I retrieve the MAC address of my bluetooth headset this way?

Thanks!

Answer 1

use this code:

- (void)deviceDiscovered:(NSNotification *) notification {
    BluetoothDevice *bt = [notification object];
    NSLog(@"name: %@ address: %@",bt.name, bt.address);

If this is a jailbreak app, you can use the key kLockdownBluetoothAddressKey via liblockdown.dylib
