CoreBluetooth framework is only available in iOS 5.0+ and the hardware for Bluetooth 4.0 is only currently included in the iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 and the new iPad. Your 3GS does not have the necessary hardware to support the CoreBluetooth framework calls which is why you get the message you get.

I don't know if you want to use private API on your app, but in case you can the BluetoothManager is a simple API and can do what you need... Here is a link that can help you. Other than that it's not possible using public API so far...

Core Bluetooth only works on BLE module (Bluetooth 4.0). iPhone 3GS was released in 2009 while BLE standard was released in 2011. Even though iPhone 3GS could run iOS 6.0, it still cannot work with CoreBluetooth.
