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.

I am talking the silentbeacon.com personal safety alarm device. How is it able to connect with the phone with bluetooth while the screen is locked. I am looking for an IOS solution.
Just because the screen is locked on the iOS device doesn't mean it cannot do any Bluetooth functionality. iOS devices have a special background mode that allows them to continuously read BLE adverts and also communicate with remote BLE devices. You can find more about this here:-

I have a bluetooth scanner connected to iPad.
ios doesn't support bluetooth spp mode, so I have to set scanner into HID.
However, after that, the virtual keyboard disappear.
I tried [ios keyboard] plugin.1 No luck.
I assume this may be a common case if your app work with bluetooth device(keyboard).
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Can we used our iPhone as a HID client in iOS by using Bluetooth? We want to make HID communication with a Bluetooth Dongle. Our iPhone will send keys to dongle like a Keyboard, mouse , joystick etc.
The same we can done between a keyboard and a Dongle. But How it will possible when we are using ios device and dongle?
Please help to clarify my doubts If I am wrong anywhere.
Thanks in advance!!
iOS only provides HID Host, but not HID Peripheral. You may be able to capture the keypresses in an iOS application, and send the equivalent data (ASCII or HID frames) via Bluetooth Low Energy. A custom application on the dongle/device will be required to receive the data and convert/execute to HID if desired.
