when I discovered yet another quirk in Apple's approach. In order to use Bluetooth, the target hardware also requires an Apple chip to embed in the target, obtainable only from Apple.
Also Apple's licensing agreement .... They don't believe in making it easy. has to go through specialised corridors provided on the Apple network. Distribution can only be done you can only develop apps using an iMac As a result we have shifted our development effort into Android, where this nonsense doesn't exist. I often wonder if Keil et al would be available for Apple rather than Windows, had Apple not been so protective and run an "open shop". The success of the PC comes from this wonderful thing called competition which was there (was it) a year after IBM introduced the PC. Apple has never allowed it. Erik |
