Is it possible to customize the Bluetooth Pairing Request dialog on iOS? This is what we get currently for our Bluetooth device. Basically, there is no numerically entry on our Bluetooth device. You press a button on our device to confirm pairing. However, I'm not clear if you need to make a change on the firmware or if this is something that can be customized from iOS to change the text.
Is there any way anyone knows of to force the onscreen software keyboard in iOS when a Bluetooth HID device (like a barcode scanner) is active?
There are a few ancient questions on SO, but most work by manually adjusting the frame of the keyboard view, and that method no longer appears to work as of iOS 8.
Strangely there doesn't seem to be any information on how to do this post iOS 8. Is it just impossible?
See:

Is it possible to programatically pair an iOS device with a Bluetooth device?
I would have the device's MAC address and also the Bluetooth Pin.
I know it's possible to do on an Android device without any pairing screen/dialogue appears, but can it be done in iOS?
Thanks for any pointers.

Ideally, I would like to show an indicator light if a scanner is connected or not.
Yes, the scanner is iOS supported and does connect and work as keyboard.
