You must use the nRFgo studio, open the nRF8001 XML file used and ensure that the nRF8001 configuration -> GAP Settings -> Writeable Device name (Over the air and From application controller with pipe) are enabled.

Then get the pipe number used for the device name from the services header file , you will see a #define called PIPE_GAP_DEVICE_NAME_SET , you can then call lib_aci_set_local_data (...) to set the device name.

Edit: The name must be received over the air from an iOS device on a different Characteristic as the GAP Device Name Characteristic is typically not available from an iOS app.

I hope your issue is already addressed.

I wanted to start with a simple UART send receive character . Redbear refered me to Nordic example which works .

Are you using the Nordic BLE SDK or are you using Redbearlab's ? I am not able to find the ble_set_name function in the Nordic SDK.
