Why not? As a central device, iOS publishes the Battery Service, Time Service and ANCS. I think it would be useful if my app can publish a proprietary service to connected peripherals.

As far as I understand the BLE spec, a central can act as a GATT server (and a peripheral can act as a GATT client).
I would like to know if this is possible to implement on iOS.
I am aware that it may not be the most straight-forward use case, but it is definitely allowed by the spec.
