Small world. I was working with a company back in 2009 and we wanted to move off the Palm Pilot to a smart phone which there were not a lot of choices back then. We investigated the iPhone but it's lack of the SPP Bluetooth Profile (serial port profile) meant it wasn't a possible solution.
It's 2022 and as I read https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204387 Apple has not added SPP to the supported profiles so still no reason to consider Apple iPhones for this system.
I do see a packet logger at https://www.bluetooth.com/blog/a-new-way-to-debug-iosbluetooth-applications/ which may help you debug your system but I found no open source code to see how the packet logger did it's work.
Time to call Apple to see if they can give you the source.

Why does the IOHIDDevice interface not support IOS or am I doing it the wrong way? Is there a library of official standards?
rproffitt commented: The library is up at Apple. I fixed a typo in my post above. To Be Clear: Such snooping may be blocked. It was back when we looked at the iPhones. +16
