[Technical Questions] Testing bluetooth connection on a simulator, real device needs "a development team" #156
-
In what area do you have a technical challenge?Xcode, Simulator & Previews DescriptionI want to try whether bluetooth connection feature works on my app, however I think simulators doesn't support that (Also mentioned in this discussion post). I connected my phone to test, but it asked me to have a "development team", and when i give my apple id, it didn't accept since "Personal development teams, including "Merve Cerit", do not support the Time Sensitive Notifications and Sign in with Apple capabilities." How should I proceed? @PSchmiedmayer

@nick-allen21 have you had this issue while connecting to your iphone to test bluetooth connection? |

Yes! I did in fact. Yes, you are right you can't run the bluetooth scanning on the simulator because it does not have access to the proper part of the computer's stack I believe. For the development team, I actually ignored that and I was still able to run on my phone. Here is a screenshot of the same page for me : 
I would also make sure that your iphone is in developer mode (look up developer mode in settings and enable). Let me know if these solutions work - if not I have a few more ideas it did take a little trial and error to get the phone up and connected. |

Thank you for your response. When you scroll down in this page, do you have capabilities of Sign in with Apple and Time Sensitive Notifications? "/Users/mmervecerit/Documents/GitHub/2025-NeutroFeverGuard/NeutroFeverGuard.xcodeproj Cannot create a iOS App Development provisioning profile for "edu.stanford.cs342.2025.neutrofeverguard-mervecerit". Personal development teams, including "Merve Cerit", do not support the Time Sensitive Notifications and Sign in with Apple capabilities." Maybe i need to turn those features off to be able to debug on my iphone? |

hmm yea I am not quite sure I never ran into that specific error. Yea you could try turning those off than trying to run again. It could very well be possible that the free devlopment package does not allow these specific capabilities. I have no other features, here is the bottom of my screen :

I removed those two capabilities (Notification and Apple Sign in) from that page, and voila! It works! Thank you, Nick! |
