Sample App for BLE 4.2

Question

Does Nordic, or any third party, provide an iOS app that utilizes the features of BLE 4.2? Specifically the larger packets sizes, and is there example code? Wish list would be some app similar to the Punch Through app Light Blue. 
 Thank you

Nordic has nRF Connect app that supports long packets as long as device you connect to supports them too. My nRF52 apps had no problem to obtain long packets on both Android and iOS in any app because it's OS duty to decide such things. All I had to do was to enable long packets during device initialization and sent packet extension request after connection event using example code from S132 v3.0 migration guide. So as long as your device asks for it both Android and iOS will agree to have longer packets by default without any specific code in smartphone app. Be aware that it will only work with nRF52 with S132v3.0 as nRF51 currently doesn't have this feature.
