To get heart rate data, I've used a Bluetooth Prephiral Simulator app called LightBlue downloaded from the App Store. There, create a virtual prephiral service for heart rate. Go to the 'Heart Rate Control Point' characterisitc, add read and write capabilities. You can also set a default Hex value. You need this to be able to get a result from 'Get Heart Rate' button.
