At WWDC 2024, Apple introduced several updates related to Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and privacy. In the session titled "What’s new in privacy," Apple discussed changes to the Bluetooth authorization prompt in iOS 18, emphasizing transparency about the types of data shared with Bluetooth access and the potential privacy risks. The updated prompt now includes a map indicating the current location of the device and a sample of associated devices, helping users make informed choices about granting Bluetooth access. You can learn more about these changes in the What’s new in privacy session.
Additionally, the "Meet AccessorySetupKit" session covered how to use Bluetooth for accessory discovery and communication. The AccessorySetupKit simplifies the process of discovering, authorizing, and communicating with Bluetooth accessories, while the communication itself is handled with Core Bluetooth. This session provides insights into setting up digital accessories and synchronizing data over Bluetooth.
