At least Android has this already: https://github.com/evothings/cordova-ble/blob/55456d4db2a54a57fed64e231f2f993699ca4e1c/src/android/BLE.java#L123

But it looks like iOS doesn't: https://github.com/evothings/cordova-ble/blob/55456d4db2a54a57fed64e231f2f993699ca4e1c/src/ios/EVOBLE.m#L1457

On iOS, if Bluetooth is turned off, a popup menu is displayed when the app starts. The menu has an option for opening the Settings app, where Bluetooth can be turned on. This is the behaviour on iOS. Closing this issue.
