  • Have a look at http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3647 for Bluetooth 2 profiles that are supported by Apple. I would recommend using Bluetooth 4 (LE), but I have no idea how to implement it. – Sebastian Jun 11 '14 at 09:59

@Sebastian you are right. You can use BT "classic" profiles such as "MAP, PAN, HID", but you would need to enroll MFI program: mfi program, and your accessory would need to include a MFI chip.

You can also use BTLE. It depends on the data you need to share. No MFI chip is needed. You have some info about iOS BTLE here: Core Bluetooth

iOS didn't implemented protocols that allow to communicate to other non-iOS devices.

There will not be any chance for implementing this sooner. Because Apple primarily focusing on the security.
