But, as it explains in the comments… that doesn’t seem to work anymore! And in my experience, I concur.

There is no way to get at this behavior alone, you have to use the whole Apple-provided GKPeerPickerController UI. Thanks! Wonderful topic about detection when bluetooth is disable.

Thing is that I would perfer users connecting over bluetooth with wifi turned off. Another question - if you select NEAR connection mode in GKPeerPicker, will it work over bluetooth OR wifi (if bluetooth is disabled)? King Regards! Hello!

I did notice that with WiFi off and Bluetooth enabled that in Apple's Reachability example wrapper that it detects an adhoc link local route, but only once you've actually created the GKSession and have connected to another device.

Thus it is not an "error" if bluetooth is turned off. I think the reason you don’t get the error on 3.1 is because gamekit now works over WiFi. Thus it is not an “error” if bluetooth is turned off.

Hope we can find a workaround. Indeed, doesn’t seem to work in 3.1. Hope we can find a workaround.

My wish would be that we would not have to worry about whether Bluetooth was on. Instead, we could simply start a GKSession, and Apple would ask users if they want to allow a Bluetooth connection-- similar to how they handle Location Manager requests.

I don't know offhand how to make this work in 3.1. I'll be looking into it over the weekend and will update when I know more. Thanks for the update. I don’t know offhand how to make this work in 3.1.
