PyObjC Framework IOBluetooth is a Python binding for the IOBluetooth framework on macOS. It enables Python applications to interact with Bluetooth devices and services through Objective-C APIs. The library is currently at version 12.1 and typically releases new versions in conjunction with macOS SDK updates and PyObjC core developments, ensuring compatibility with the latest Apple technologies.
pip install pyobjc-framework-iobluetoothVerified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.
This quickstart demonstrates how to import the `IOBluetooth` framework using PyObjC and perform a basic check by accessing a class (`IOBluetoothDevice`) and its associated bundle. This confirms the successful loading and accessibility of the Objective-C framework through Python. For more in-depth usage, refer to Apple's IOBluetooth documentation.
Upgrade to Python 3.10 or newer, or pin `pyobjc-framework-iobluetooth<12.0`.
Upgrade to Python 3.9 or newer, or pin `pyobjc-framework-iobluetooth<11.0`.
Review code interacting with Objective-C `init` methods for potential reference counting issues and adjust accordingly.
Ensure deployment environment is macOS. Use cross-platform alternatives for Bluetooth interaction if multi-OS support is required.
If defining custom `__new__` or `__init__` for Objective-C classes, thoroughly test object initialization and lifecycle. Consider moving complex initialization logic to Objective-C methods if encountering issues.
Run `xcode-select --install` in the terminal to ensure Command Line Tools are present before installation.
