C# Monotouch/Xamarin - iOS Bluetooth connection to multiple phones?

Question

Does anyone know if it's possible to use Bluetooth to connect to multiple phones using C# Monotouch/Xamarin iOS?

Update

• I'd preferably like to connect multiple phones to one main phone host, all via Bluetooth (1 host and 3 or 4 clients).
• I don't know a great deal about bluetooth and the various profiles, so I'd be looking for guidance on this aspect also.

Answer 1

Yes, you can.

iOS 7.0 introduced the Multipeer Connectivity framework. It can work with both bluetooth and/or wifi (and can even bridge between them, pretty neat).

You can find sample code (e.g. chat, mixed with iBeacons) by googling around for Multipeer Connectivity, iOS and monotouch.
