NSPredicate in showBluetoothAccessoryPickerWithNameFilter

I am using method called showBluetoothAccessoryPickerWithNameFilter:completion: which is a part of External accessory framework. It just returns bluetooth devices which iPhone found and you can pick one to connect to it.

If I use this arguments: showBluetoothAccessoryPickerWithNameFilter:nil completion:nil, it returns all devices but you can specify which devices it should returns with NSPredicate (Filter argument). So I tried to create predicate like this: 

NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"self CONTAINS MyString"];
[[EAAccessoryManager sharedAccessoryManager] showBluetoothAccessoryPickerWithNameFilter:predicate completion:nil]

But when I run the app, there is an error something like:

class is not key value coding-compliant for the key MyString.

I suppose that problem is with self word in predicate because in this case self means instance of current class. Am I right? How should I write a predicate if I want to get only devices that contain MyString in its name? Thank you guys.

The EAAccessoryManager documentation says that the predicate is evaluated using the name of the accessory. Your problem is that you should put MyString between quotes:

NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"self CONTAINS 'MyString'"];

Hope it helps.
