Core bluetooth ios 8 - ios

Question

I use Core Bluetooth to connect two ios devices. Everything is working perfect for ios 7, but for ios 8 no. Device with ios 8 is not visible as peripheral device.
Some code:
_peripheralManager = [[CBPeripheralManager alloc] initWithDelegate:self queue:nil];
[_peripheralManager startAdvertising:#{CBAdvertisementDataServiceUUIDsKey: #[[CBUUID UUIDWithString:TRANSFER_SERVICE_UUID]]}];
- (void) peripheral:(CBPeripheral *)peripheral didDiscoverServices:(NSError *)error{
if (error) {
[self cleanup];
return;
}
for (CBService *service in peripheral.services) {
[peripheral discoverCharacteristics:#[[CBUUID UUIDWithString:TRANSFER_CHARACTERISTIC_UUID]] forService:service];
}
}
- (void) peripheral:(CBPeripheral *)peripheral didDiscoverCharacteristicsForService:(CBService *)service error:(NSError *)error{
if(error){
[self cleanup];
return;
}
for (CBCharacteristic *charactristic in service.characteristics) {
if ([charactristic.UUID isEqual:[CBUUID UUIDWithString:TRANSFER_CHARACTERISTIC_UUID]]) {
[peripheral setNotifyValue:YES forCharacteristic:charactristic];
}
}
}
- (void) peripheral:(CBPeripheral *)peripheral didUpdateValueForCharacteristic:(CBCharacteristic *)characteristic error:(NSError *)error{
if (error) {
return;
}
NSString *stringFromData = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:characteristic.value encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
[peripheral setNotifyValue:NO forCharacteristic:characteristic];
[_centralManager cancelPeripheralConnection:peripheral];
[_data appendData:characteristic.value];
NSDictionary *recievedData = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:stringFromData forKey:#"receivedData"];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
postNotificationName:DATA_FROM_PERIPHERAL_RECEIVED
object:self userInfo:recievedData];
// }
}
- (void)peripheral:(CBPeripheral *)peripheral didUpdateNotificationStateForCharacteristic:(CBCharacteristic *)characteristic error:(NSError *)error{
if (![characteristic.UUID isEqual:[CBUUID UUIDWithString:TRANSFER_CHARACTERISTIC_UUID]]) {
return;
}
if (characteristic.isNotifying) {
NSLog(#"Notification began on %#", characteristic);
}else{
[_centralManager cancelPeripheralConnection:peripheral];
}
}

Answer 1

iOS 8.0 bluetooth peripheral manager giving no callback for addService - This question helps me to fix this issue. Just need to move
[_peripheralManager startAdvertising:#{CBAdvertisementDataServiceUUIDsKey: #[[CBUUID UUIDWithString:TRANSFER_SERVICE_UUID]]}];
to -(void)peripheralManagerDidUpdateState:(CBPeripheralManager *)peripheral method:
-(void)peripheralManagerDidUpdateState:(CBPeripheralManager *)peripheral{
if (peripheral.state != CBPeripheralManagerStatePoweredOn) {
return;
}
if (peripheral.state == CBPeripheralManagerStatePoweredOn) {
[_peripheralManager startAdvertising:#{CBAdvertisementDataServiceUUIDsKey: #[[CBUUID UUIDWithString:TRANSFER_SERVICE_UUID]]}];
self.transferCharacteristic = [[CBMutableCharacteristic alloc] initWithType:[CBUUID UUIDWithString:TRANSFER_CHARACTERISTIC_UUID] properties:CBCharacteristicPropertyNotify value:nil permissions:CBAttributePermissionsReadable];
CBMutableService *transferService = [[CBMutableService alloc]initWithType:[CBUUID UUIDWithString:TRANSFER_SERVICE_UUID] primary:YES];
transferService.characteristics = #[_transferCharacteristic];
[_peripheralManager addService:transferService];
}
}
Now everything works great for ios 6,7,8.
