I tried using the LightBlue app (BLExplr wasn't able to discover my service). LightBlue reported the service the first three times that I added the service (I tore down my peripheral and then re-created the service in between each check). After that, no more service detected. To tear down the service, I call: - (void) stopPeripheral { if ( self.peripheralManager ) { if ( self.peripheralManager.isAdvertising ) [ self.peripheralManager stopAdvertising ]; [ self.peripheralManager removeAllServices ]; // Seems to have no effect on this issue self.peripheralManager = NULL; } } ... look correct?

Allan,

Try to use a generic client like the BLExplr app for 3$ to enumerate your peripheral app's services.

Do you find something special with such an app?

Normally, you should not run into issues with the service count.

Note that services can only be added while not advertising. Do you wait For advertising to stop before adding / removing services?

In Apple's "BTLE Transfer" sample app, and in a test app that I created, I have observed that if the following is performed multiple times as the app is used:

addService startAdvertising stopAdvertising

or even:

addService startAdvertising stopAdvertising removeAllServices

Šthen at some point (after roughly 3-7 iterations of the above), I will no longer get a call to:

peripheralManager:didAddService:error:

Thus, I have to assume that the service has not been added.

To demonstrate this, using the "BTLE Transfer" sample app, add the following to BTLEPeripheralViewController.m:

- (void) peripheralManager: (CBPeripheralManager*) peripheral didAddService: (CBService*) service error: (NSError*) error; { NSLog( @"didAddService" ); }

Šthen, run the app on a device that supports CPPeripheralManager. In the UI, repeatedly perform these two steps: 1. Click "Peripheral" on the first screen 2. Click "Back" on the second screen

Observe in the console that "didAddService" gets logged for the first fews iterations of the above steps, but will eventually no longer appear:

Should I be able to perform addService as many times as I like?
