I am trying to read data from a bluetooth device (BR-LE4.0-S2). I was able to connect BLE device, but not able to read data from it.I don't have any specification about BLE services and it's characteristics. Here what my issue is - (void)peripheral:didUpdateValueForCharacteristic:error: not getting called. I followed tutorial "https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/NetworkingInternetWeb/Conceptual/CoreBluetooth_concepts/PerformingCommonCentralRoleTasks/PerformingCommonCentralRoleTasks.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40013257-CH3-SW2" .Following is my code.
What my requirement is to read data continuously from BLE device. Any help is greatly appreciated.
