Bluetooth connectivity using IOS device

Hi i just want to clarify few things after i went through all the details by googling whole day.

Firstly i want to know Can we list all the devices*(including Android,blackberry etc)*using bluetooth connectivity in our ios device?

If yes how do we do??Once listing out the device can we able to connect to it*(including Android,blackberry etc)* ?According to my knowledge we cant connect to any other device using bluetooth as apple wont support.But is there any way can we connect it?Just for my knowledge purpose.

Secondly i went through framework called BluetoothManager where i saw a sample code where it displays a list of devices when bluetooth is ON, but i didnt see IOS devices listing when we use Bluetooth Manager.

So can anyone tel me For what exactly Bluetooth manager is used for and can we connect with ios device to any other Devices and tranfer files using this Framework?Is it possible?

I know about Gamkekit Framework where it is used to connect between two or more IOS devices. But i am eager to know Other than Gamekit there are any other way where we can connect to other devices using bluetooth.

Please anyone would tel me regarding would be very helpfull for me and others as well.Looking forward to for the answers.

There are three frameworks available in iOS using which you can develop the bluetooth applications:

  1. GameKit: This is the publicly available framework . But using this you can only establish and communicate between only two iOS device. So this framework having its own limitations .

  2. BluetoothManager: This is private framework .I used this framework to discover the non iOS devices . I have established the connection also . But cant able to do the data exchange. I think it is still under development. For the reference you can refer this link

  3. CoreBluetooth: This is also the public framework. This can only discover BLE enabled devices . I have successfully used this to transfer the data between the BLE enabled devices.
