peripheral_ams_client not discovered by iOS 18

[nrbrook]

I previously tested the peripheral_ams_client with iOS 17, and I could select the device in iOS Bluetooth settings to connect to it, however it appears in iOS 18 iOS is not scanning for AMS solicited service in iOS settings. I can find it with a BLE App e.g. LightBlue and connect to it, then it offers to pair and works as expected. Are you aware of this limitation? Does this seem like a bug to you? It does to me...

Hi Nick, 
Apple decide what they want to allow to show and connect to in the Bluetooth setting. I am afraid it's not much we can do. Have you checked with their support ? Do you see any info if they plan to retire the AMS service ?

No I wanted to find out if Nordic were aware or thought perhaps you might have contacts inside Apple that could assist. I will report it as a bug and see what they say.

Hi Nick, 
I see. I will let you know if I find any information internally regarding this.
