Product:iPhone SDK Product Version:3.1.2/10M2003
Classification:Enhancement Reproducible:Always
 
Summary: There is no public API for accessing the Bluetooth status.

Steps to Reproduce: N/A

Expected Results: A developer should be able to determine the Bluetooth status and presence in the device.

Actual Results: A developer cannot know if Bluetooth is active, so it can not instruct the user to turn it on or off if the application need it.

Notes:
The developer only has indirect access to Bluetooth through services that make use of Bluetooth, but there is no way to determine if Bluetooth is active or inactive (or present) in the device, and use or not those services.

Please, include an API for accessing the Bluetooth status and availability. This is NOT a request for being able to modify the user Bluetooth status, but to access that information.

Thank you very much.
