Hello, what happened with the Download iOS option?
I was trying to make an iOS app that uses BLE (it is for a project which involves Arduino Nano and HC-06 module).
As in the following topic is said with eBeacon I can get communication.

Furthermore, in the topic is said that by downloading the app for iOS I should be able to use it and I have seen some tutorials where they successfully do it. But when I try to download iOS the option is not there.

Hi there @venaber, welcome to Thunkable!
You can find out more about the status of downloads for iOS here in this thread.
[https://community.thunkable.com/t/download-to-ios-feature-needed-customer-service-feedback/2396537/3](https://community.thunkable.com/t/download-to-ios-feature-needed-customer-service-feedback/2396537/3)
In short, we have updated our platform to adhere to Apple’s best practices of having developers test apps with their individual accounts. As a result, downloading iOS apps is no longer available. We are exploring opportunities to allow our users to use their own developer certificates to download from Thunkable but we do not have a specific time for implementation of that feature currently.

Hi, thanks for answering
> …publish a version of your app to TestFlight…
This is the paid functionality right? and is the only way to use BLE with iOS as with Live app it does not work?
