Is there a way to force up a software keyboard when the user has a iOS bluetooth keyboard device installed?
Or, to that end, is it possible in code to disable a specific bluetooth device?
Thanks!

Not from within the application’s code, if you’re planning on getting into the app store. Apple expressly does not provide methods to show or hide keyboard, instead pushing you to use
becomeFirstResponderandresignFirstResponder.You may be able to do this through some non-AppStore-friendly methods, but somehow I don’t think that’s the answer you’re looking for.
(Note – you could make a fake, Apple-looking keyboard when the real one is hidden, and check if the real one is hidden based on whether a view is visible, but if Apple notices you doing this, you’ll get denied.)
