Does using bonjour on the iphone enable bluetooth automatically?

Question

Hi,

I am planning to a peer to peer app using bonjour for the iphone. There will be no wifi available and hence am relying on bluetooth. I know bonjour based services works over bluetooth in the abscense of wifi.

My question is, will bluetooth on the phone automatically become enabled when I launch the bonjour service or try to do discovery?

If not, how do I enable bluetooth - I can't find any public API's in the SDK?

Regards, hb

No. The user is responsible for selecting the network connectivity options in the Settings App. If they have not enabled Bluetooth, you cannot turn it on for them.
