How can i detect AirPods when they connect?

Question

I would like to detect if my AirPods did connect. I was able to do it for any other bluetooth device, but cant find any observers to do the same for AirPods. Any ideas? tnx

You can use the IOBluetooth framework. There’s a class called IOBluetoothDevice, which has a type method that allows you to register for device connect notifications.

IOBluetoothDevice.register(forConnectNotifications: self, selector: #selector(connectNotifications))

From here you can call isConnected on your IOBluetoothDevice instance and check if it’s connected or not.
