Bluetooth Example Code for Cocoa (Objective-C)

I'm looking for example code for setting up a connection to a bluetooth device using the Bluetooth API in Cocoa. Apple used to include this type of example code in the XCode tools package under the /Developer/Examples/Bluetooth folder, but upon downloading the latest version of XCode (3.2.1), these bluetooth examples have been removed from that directory.

There is now a readme file located at /Developer/Examples/ReadMe.rtf that explains that all example code is on the ADC website. However, it seems that the ADC website does NOT include bluetooth sample code.

I've tried googling, but I can't seem to find any good examples for how to get bluetooth going on Mac OS X with Cocoa. Can anybody help me out? I wish I had copied those examples to a backup location before updating to XCode 3.2.1! Curses, Apple! Why have you taken them from me?

You can do what I've done: download an old copy of XCode and use Pacifist to extract what you need.

Thanks! This was the quickest way to get the example code I wanted. The older version of the tools (3.1.4) are on the developer website, and Pacifist is a great little app for extracting just the parts I needed.

Let Apple know you need these by filing a bug report (enhancement request) at https://bugreport.apple.com.

Ahh.. i can't find 3.1.4 on the Apple website. Maddening.

They're still there, as long as you've got a (free) account with the Apple Developer Connection site. To get the tools, go to the Mac Dev Center site (http://developer.apple.com/mac/), then click "Member Site" and log in. Next, navigate to the downloads page, and find the section for developer tools. In the list of tools downloads, you'll find version 3.1.4.
