    Description

      See attached BugDemo.cpp.

      If connectToService is run in the main thread and QBluetoothSocket is associated with the main thread everything works as specified.

      If QBluetoothSocket is moved to a separate thread with its own event loop a connect never happens; none of the signals is ever emitted.

      This issue only appears on OS X (all tested versions); on Linux everything works fine regardless of the thread affinity of QBluetooth socket.

      A similar effect can be achieved when running IOBluetoothRFCOMMChannel or its delegate without an event loop. I therefore conclude that for some reasons the QThread based event loop is not sufficient to run IOBluetoothRFCOMMChannel (which is somewhere burried deep inside the QBluetoothSocket machinery).
