Hi Steve,

We have encountered two bugs that result in a crippled BT stack:

1.  After several connect/disconnects, the BT stack gets corrupted so we can scan but not perform deeper service queries or connections to BT peripherals.  In this state, neither our app, the TI sample app, or the LightBlue app can access peripherals. This ones's isolated to 7.0, is known about by Apple, requires a reboot to reset the BT antenna, and is fixed in 7.1 beta. 

2. In this case, we place our app in the background for 15+ mins then return to foreground and connect.  After repeating this 5-10 times, the BT stack gets corrupted and we can only reset by rebooting the phone.  Our BT sniffer trace shows iOS dropping the connection at discover services each time.  We're testing further but can easily repeat this in 6.1, 7.0, and 7.1.

Wow, if you’ve got it down that fine you should file the bug (with that sample code for running the automated test)! Do you have a stack trace for the BT crash?

Our app also runs in peripheral mode.

William,

We've noticed it when running as the only app on our device. 

In our scenario we are the Peripheral. We set up an automated test to connect to us, transfer some data, disconnect and restart that process every 30 seconds. We can successfully crash the Bluetooth on the device (iPod running iOS 7) every few hours. Requires a restart of the device to reload Bluetooth.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks,
Steve Jablonski

Steve, have you noticed that this happens more (always?) when multiple apps are using BTLE? I’ve only been able to reproduce locally with multiple BTLE apps installed, and we noticed a big up-tick in bug reports when the Apple Store app shipped their BTLE/iBeacon feature...

Noticed the same. Currently have an item in my current sprint to report a bug. However, I unfortunately have no been able to retrieve any sort of a crash report around this.

Anyone else have any ideas?

Thanks,

Every now and then my iPhone stops responding to CoreBluetooth requests completely. Neither my nor any other app on the phone works until I toggle Bluetooth and/or restart the device. Restarting the apps does not help. Some of our users report seeing this with regularity.

I’d like to file a bug on this, but I don’t have much to go on. Is there a way I can collect a diagnostic report on the device so that I can help get this fixed?

Thanks,
