Is there any way to achieve scanning and connecting to Bluetooth PAN profile devices for iOS.

any library or SDK available that can help me achieve this.

Could you please let me know if there is any library or SDK that can help me achieve this functionality in iOS?

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Just glancing over the PAN profile, that’s a Bluetooth Classic profile (adopted over 20 years ago!) so Core Bluetooth can’t work with it. And there won’t be any additional library or SDK that can add to the capabilities of Core Bluetooth.

There does seem to be PAN functionality built into iOS as a user-facing feature (for network tethering or sharing) but no API for an app to work with it.
