Hello I'm new to this whole arduino stuff. I was wondering for a project if it was possible to make a tiny light that bluetooth connects to iphone so that when the iphone alarm clock rings, the light would turn on. Would appreciate any sort of help and guidance.
The first thing you should find out is if the iPhone has the facility to send a signal via Bluetooth when the alarm clock rings.
Only when you confirm that can we propose solutions, otherwise it is a waste of time.
you could use a ESP32 which has onboard support for BLE to run a service and advertise
you would then implement an app for the iPhone which when its timed alarm goes off it connects to the service and sends a signal to light a LED
Apple is soooo cool. Though apple has much more restrictions than andoid-phones

Future Work
We are currently working to implement the following:
- Building and packaging apps (.ipa files) for permanent installation in an iOS device or for distribution on the App Store is currently in a closed beta. For now, this process is more complex than for building and installing Android apps because of strict Apple developer requirements. The current process for developing iOS apps is described here.
- Translator component
- Charts component
- Spreadsheets component
- Clickable images
- Navigation component
- Near Field Communication (iOS 14 and later)
- Twitter component
- Bluetooth support
So my impression is: it is not possible with iPhones
And it is unknown when in the future it will be possible.
Apple is pure purism. Buy some kind of apple-components for extra alerting.
If you want to tinker with arduinos do it with arduinos themselve or in combination with andorid-smartphones
