Bluetooth vs BLE and proper usage of them

I am doing a project that uses BLE(CoreBluetooth). In the mean time we use a mock in the form of android device. My question is this: Why does the CoreBluetooth doesn't recognise the android device? (i read about BLE GATT but still didn't understand it). Also if i go in the iPhone to settings->bluetooth it recognises it and even connect to the android device ,how can i implement this in my app?

Programming with CoreBluetooth

IMHO, CoreBluetooth is quite cumbersome. I suggest using a library like RxBluetoothKit which takes away a lot of the boilerplating involved with handling the GATT profiles yourself.

Devices, mockups

Cool BLE devices are around 30$ nowadays. I use PuckJS - a JS supporting programmable BLE board.

Apple requires MFI certification for devices that connect to iOS devices via Bluetooth.

The exceptions are:

So your Android mockup would have to advertise itself as one of these.
