Having heard that Apple has included the Bluetooth MAP profile in iOS 6 I was wondering how I could implement the client side of that on a Mac.
I have spent a while Goggling but I haven’t found any documentation on how to use it. Is it built into the OS or will I have to use an external library. (I know there is a Bluetooth API in Mac OS but I don’t know if it supports the MAP profile)
Are there any code samples or documentation that I could use?
Apple does not support Bluetooth MAP natively in OSX. See http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10549 for a list of supported profiles in Mountain Lion. You can create new profiles for OSX, though, within some bounds. See https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/devicedrivers/conceptual/bluetooth/BT_Develop_BT_Apps/BT_Develop_BT_Apps.html for details.
Since MAP is on top of SPP/RFCOMM (see http://developer.bluetooth.org/KnowledgeCenter/TechnologyOverview/Pages/MAP.aspx), you should be able to implement this profile on OSX.
