CoreBluetooth device name change

Question

I am currently creating a simple iOS bluetooth app. I currently have a device with the ability to modify the name. What I am finding is that when I connect to a CBPeripheral

Answer 1

I had a similar issue, moreover it wasn't a problem only with the device's name but some characterstics changed in specific modes (like firmware upgrade on a device).

Got the following answer from apple:
"The answer is that the accessory needs to support the GATT Service Changed characteristic - please read the specification, specifically Vol 3, Part G, 2.5.2, and Vol 3, Part G, 7.1."

The name issue has been solved by having the device name advertised as a property in the advertisement data. (This however might need specific firmware as it doesn't always have that property in the adv package)

Otherwise to reset the core-bluetooth cache: you will need to re-start the iOS bluetooth adapter which I couldn't manage to do programatically on iOS.
