@Sebastian you are right. You can use BT "classic" profiles such as "MAP, PAN, HID", but you would need to enroll MFI program: mfi program, and your accessory would need to include a MFI chip.

You can also use BTLE. It depends on the data you need to share. No MFI chip is needed. You have some info about iOS BTLE here: Core Bluetooth

iOS didn't implemented protocols that allow to communicate to other non-iOS devices.

There will not be any chance for implementing this sooner. Because Apple primarily focusing on the security.
