Although BLE is not supported in the iOS Simulator, Core Bluetooth is supported on newer Macs in OS X apps. So if you put all the iOS app's Bluetooth code in a a controller or model object separate from the UIKit UI code, you can also use that same BLE code inside an OS X app to test it out.

Bluetooth Low Energy is not supported in the simulator. You need to test on a real device.

To install an application onto a device you will need a paid membership of the Apple developer programme
