Hello Felix
I don’t know about the limitations of CoreBluetooth on OS X. There’s also the possibility that the used Bluetooth module only supports a single Peripheral role. E.g. the USB BLE dongles with the Broadcom 20720 chipset return an error when trying to enable advertisement when being connected. (I didn’t double check, what’s happening on iOS though)
Best regards,
Matthias
