Qt 5.5 will add support for BTLE on Android and iOS. The API is mostly the 
same. Those new platform ports were the proving ground for the 5.4 API. 
Unfortunately Qt 5.5 is still limited to the BTLE central role. Peripheral mode 
is something I'd like to add at some stage but haven't been able to do so far.

Subject: [Interest] Bluetooth support on Qt 5.5, Linux to iOS bluetooth 
communication.

Hello,
Qt 5.4 provide a Tech Preview of Bluetooth Low Energy (client side support on 
Bluez 4 & 5). My Question is how far the Qt 5.5 Bluetooth Low Energy API final 
release will supports the BTLE functionality. Especially I am interested in the 
server side support of BTLE to communicate with iOS (In Apple terms the server 
side is the peripheral role (has data) like a heart rate sensor). I want to 
connect from a iPad to a raspberry pi without using GUI on the rpi and iOS only 
support BTLE. I run in trouble doing the communication in the other direction. 
One Problem was the auto disconnect of iOS BTLE after a short time and due to 
the given role assignment (rpi=central role/wants data) the communication needs 
to be initiated from the rpi, keeping the connection by polling, what is not a 
proper solution for me. Perhaps someone has an advice or docs to help?

Thanks and Regards

Johannes
