Does anyone know if it is it possible to use the nRF8001 breakout to connect to an iOS device and receive notifications from Apple's Notification Center Service (ANCS)?
I've been poking around the sample code hoping I could figure out how to modify it to discover and set itself up as a notification consumer with ANCS, but I'm in over my head and at this point I don't even know if it can be accomplished with this breakout.
Thanks in advance for any information on this!

I believe so, but your software (iOS side) has to query it from the operating system (or get an interrupt) and then forward the message to the BLE endpoint in the format you like.

Re: nRF8001 and ANCS
The registration for ANCS has to come from the bluetooth peripheral, not from an iOS app. There is information here (you might need an Apple Developer account to view):

What I want to know is if it's possible to modify the Arduino/lib_aci code to register and/or communicate with ANCS. Has anyone done this, or are there code samples available?
I suspect I may need to use the Nordic nRFGo software to accomplish this, but it's Windows only and I am a Mac guy.

Re: nRF8001 and ANCS
You'll definately need nRFGo Studio for this. I can't say 100% for certain if the 8001 supports ANCS, so you might want to post a question on Nordic's 'Devzone' support website. They're pretty good about answering easy questions, and they would know off the top of their heads.
