Hello Caleb,

Zebra iOS SDK currently provide support “SSI over MFI” and “SSI over Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE). It is possible to enable one or both communication mode with Zebra SDK.
Switch scanner mode to one of the above communication mode before using it(But with this scenario DS2278 scanners support “SSI over Bluetooth Low Energy” only).
You can use Zebra Scanner Control Application which is available on App store to connect the scanner. With that you can distinguish the problem is in the scanner or with the client app.
There are two ways to connect a scanner with zebra iOS demo app

1.     Manual connection
2.     Scan to connect

Steps to connect scanner Manually with Zebra SCA

1.     After install Zebra SCA navigate to Connection help and follow instructions in “Pair DS2278” section.

Steps to connect scanner using Scan To Connect

1.     After install Zebra SCA navigate to App Settings.
2.     Select Com Protocol – SSI over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)
3.     Insert correct device Bluetooth address to Bluetooth Address section.
4.     Click “Barcode” option at the bottom of the App Settings page.
5.     Scan the Barcode display in the app.
6.     Tap the “Pair” button when the “Bluetooth Pairing Request” prompt appears.

If problem is with your client app you can use below link to navigate Zebra SCA source for more help.

    2. What is the SDK version and exact iOS version you are using?
