BTstack - the Bluetooth Stack - works on 32bit iOS 7.0.4 devices. It's not 
clear why it doesn't work on newer devices like iPhone 5S, iPad mini retina or 
iPad Air.

Does not work on iPad Air on iOS 7. I am unable to provide a package log; 
btstack is not listed in the settings app. I'm happy to do some tests if you 
like me to.

I can't enable BTStack log.( IOS 7.0.4 , Ipad mini with retina display)
In setting-->BtStack show me this  "There was an error loading the preference 
bundle for BTstack" ( settting ->prefernce show both of them BTstak or BTstack 
GPS, "can change limit update rate")

In my iphone 4 ( IOS 7.0.4 , settting ->prefernce does not show , both of them 
BTstak or BTstack GPS)

all of this use Cydia Substrate 0.9.5000

My iDevices With BTStack Issue : Iphone 5S & iPad Air ( IOS 7.0.4 )

Does not work on iPad Air on iOS 7.0.3. BTstack shows up in the settings view 
as an app but displays "There was an error loading the preference bundle for 
BTstack" 

when using Blutrol to look for Ps3 controller it returns "Bluetooth not 
available" consensus is this is due to BTstack error 

any progress on this issue would be greatly appreciated :) thanks in advance

Hi Guys. Any update or fix for our problem for ipad air 7.0.4?

No update yet. I'm also pretty much busy during January. I plan to work on 
BTstack and my other projects end of January.

If someone figures out why BTstack gets stuck on arm64 devices and provides a 
fix, I'm happy to release an update earlier.

Most of my extensions wouldn't work even with a fixed BTstack (e.g. Blutrol and 
BTC Mouse cannot simulate touches, GPS and WeBe++ have a broken pairing dialog, 
etc..)

Matthias,

I have installed the btstack version from Cydia and replaced all armv7 binaries 
with arm64 ones (built from latest SVN source). Now the preference screen in 
the settings app works but btstack still won't work. I see there is some magic 
going on with the PatchBlueTool binary, but on my device it reports 0 changes 
(which probably isn't a good sign). Good news is logging seems to work and I 
managed to get some info in the hci_dump file (attached to this post). Starting 
and stopping the BTdaemon binary from the command line gives me the following 
output:

-----

BTdaemon started

BTSTACK_EVENT_STATE 0
New state: 0

2014-01-04 02:13:07.249 BTdaemon[462:507] Bluetooth status: OFF
Good bye, see you.

-----

I feel I'm kind of on the right track here, but currently I don't know how to 
proceed to fix this. I'd be happy to spend some more time to get this working 
if you could maybe give me a few tips on how to proceed.

pimd...

I'm currently trying to figure it out as well, but you seem to have gotten 
further than
I have. 

Maybe if you could post more details of what you've done, me and others could 
try out
different approaches that could eventually lead us in the right direction to 
fixing this.

Thank you for the information so far, let's hope we can figure this out in a 
group effort.

Cheers!

Issue 362 has been merged into this issue.

Original comment by matthias.ringwald@gmail.com on 4 Jan 2014 at 10:32

[GoogleCodeExporter]

HI there.

I've had a few hours to look into this. First, I tried using Ryan Petrichs's 
theos fork that includes his new "lipoplastic" feature to build fat binaries. 
After that, and Preferences loading again, I looked into the issue with 
Bluetooth module initialization. It turns out that Apple changed their "magic" 
options values to configure the baud rate and such. I've committed a fix and 
BTstack happily starts up again.

Here's a beta of it: 
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5138628/ch.ringwald.btstack_0.8-1_iphoneos-a
rm.deb

I still have to compile SpringBoardAccess for 64 bit, but that's a different 
issue and not severe.

Is there a repo available for installing this beat version?  Thanks!

Thanks! The beta seems to work fine on first glance. Will test some more and

Hi, 
I've tested your package on air ipad 7.0.4 ... it's beautiful!
BTstack can again start the bluetooth module and it works flawless.

I cannot activate on ipad mini 2 wifi.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When using emulators trying to connect the wiimote I get stuck on activating 
btstack and it never connects the wiimote.  I then have to go into settings 
turn btstack to the "None" option then switch back to the "btstack" option then 
go into the emulator and it works again.   I attached the dump file.  I hope I 
did it right.  Otherwise it works great.  Thanks.

@tiagosseix.... is ipad mini 2 wifi the retina one? if yes, I have the same one 
and it works fine. What did you use to test with? please try e.g. BTstack Mouse 
and/or try this SpringBoardAccess package: 
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5138628/ch.ringwald.springboardaccess_0.3-5_
iphoneos-arm.deb

@turntablez123: well, you get a hci_dump.pklg, which means BTstack is working. 
In the log, there's a connection to a wii mote establish and many reports are 
received. so, it's not an iOS 7 + ARM 64 problem :)

Thank you for your answer. I tried keyboard, gps and mouse. Mouse works great 
after installing btstack beta, but neither keyboard or gps work. Installed 
springboard as refered. No difference. Still asking to buy  at cydia. Used to 
work great with iPad 1 iOS 5.

@tiagoseixas... well, then everything is fine. None of the actual tweaks work 
on iOS 7 for various reasons. I'll look after that when I get around. the issue 
here was the BTstack Bluetooth Stack which didn't work on iOS 7 at all.

@MRringwald

Hello mate,

For the comfort and make the beta tester I try mighty mouse on the beta version 
of BTstack provided above, ON ipad air x64.

ipad air Evasione 704 - BTstack beta (wiimote is ok since, great job ^ ^)
mac mouse connects well, witness twinning: ok
-> No point appears, nowhere ... Never mind, I do a test cross with iphone must 
hang there.

iphone 4 704 gsm Evasione - BTstack found on cydia (no access problem in 
bluetooth module):
mac mouse connects well, witness twinning: ok
-> Pointer appeared black in the top left, 5 seconds, no more apple and 
rebooted .. ok I push the boot but again connected, the mouse pointer does not 
create but the phone does not restarts this time ...

Hmmmm interesting, it does not come from the architecture 64, I think ...
An idea my friends?

thank you
cordially

Thanks for that project.

Will I be able to use btstack for using my iphone gps on my ipad?
Thanks in advance,

Mathias must have the patience of a Saint.

Folks, he's said this several times already.

GPS/MOUSE/KEYBOARD DO NOT WORK AT THIS TIME IN BTSTACK.  THEY WILL BE UPDATED 
LATER.

Chris,
I know that, but i saw some folks saying that GPS does work for them, this is 
why i am asking.
maybe in the official version it doesnt work but on the beta one?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

@yonitanp: BTstack GPS for example consists of these parts: BTstack itself, the 
app that talks to the GPS, the code that checks the license, the code that 
makes the app run in the background indefinitely, and the code that injects GPS 
data into running apps. As far as I know, with the update BTstack, you can 
connect to a GPS and get it's data, but 1-3 of the other parts don't work yet.

BTstack Mouse & BTstack Keyboard won't be updated, but they didn't work on iOS 
6 either - and there's no need for them with BTC Mouse & Trackpad, which 
doesn't use BTstack anymore.

Blutrol and WeBe++ will be updated, too. Celeste 2... most likely, too.

Hi

I've tried to install the beta but I get dependency errors. First for ldid 
which I found in a package but after that it says depends on 
cc.ringwald.Springboardaccess >=2.x but I have 3.x installed... So it should be 
ok? Can anyone help?

Ok so Cydia has brought up an update to springboard access which has updated 
preferenceloader which has sorted my dependency issue.

I've set my Mac using six axis... When I try to connect to my device I can see 
the Bluetooth icon flickering as if trying to connect but it fails.... Anyone 
seen this?

@wallace4 #39
I created a new Gmail account just to solve your problem because I was 
experiencing the same so a thank you would be nice. Anyway, when that Bluetooth 
icon is flickering, it gets dark and light intermittently, you just have to 
open the game during that time and it will ask you to press the PS button on 
your controller. I've solved it to that point, the PS is connected but I can't 
move my character in Infinity Blade III. So further help needed!

sigurno.no: on iOS 3 it is possible using BTstack Mouse, on iOS 4,5,6 it is 
possible with BTstack Mouse and/or BTC Mouse & Trackpad. on iOS 7 it is not at 
the moment, you have to wait for an update of BTC Mouse & Trackpad.
