 # iOS
-- Unter iOS kann die App [LightBlue](https://punchthrough.com/lightblue/) verwendet werden. Zu beachten ist das Apple bei einigen Diensten nicht die rohen Daten an 3rd party Apps weitergeben [S. 197](https://developer.apple.com/accessories/Accessory-Design-Guidelines.pdf). Dadurch können manche Daten nicht gedebugged werden. Ein Service ist beispielsweise HID.
-- Eine weitere Möglichkeit für das Debugging für iOS ist mit einem Macbook auf dem XCode läuft. Dafür gibt es [PacketLogger](https://developer.apple.com/bluetooth/) womit Bluetooth-Pakete live gelogged werden können. Zusätzlich muss auf dem iOS-Gerät ein Logging-Profil heruntergeladen werden und installiert werden.
+- On iOS, the [LightBlue](https://punchthrough.com/lightblue/) app can be used. Note that Apple does not pass the raw data to 3rd party apps for some services [S. 197](https://developer.apple.com/accessories/Accessory-Design-Guidelines.pdf). This means that some data cannot be debugged. One service, for example, is HID.
+- Another possibility for debugging for iOS is with a Mac running XCode. For this there is [PacketLogger](https://developer.apple.com/bluetooth/) which can log Bluetooth packets live. Additionally, a logging profile must be downloaded and installed on the iOS device.

-- Unter Android können die Apps [LightBlue](https://punchthrough.com/lightblue/) und [nRF Connect](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=no.nordicsemi.android.mcp&hl=en&gl=US) verwendet werden. Dort können mehr Daten / Dienste wie unter iOS ausgelesen werden.
-- In den Entwickleroptionen kann "Bluetooth HCI-Snoop-Protokoll aktiviert" werden und die Daten gelogged werden und später mittels Wirekshark ausgelesen werden.
