Thanks, this helped me with the same problem!

Okay i got a fix. @Coldson on my ios 10 i can reach a MTU of 247 Bytes:

U need to change the BLE-Stack part to:

<pre>
// Configure the maximum number of connections.
	memset(&ble_cfg, 0, sizeof(ble_cfg));
	ble_cfg.gap_cfg.role_count_cfg.periph_role_count  = 1;
	ble_cfg.gap_cfg.role_count_cfg.central_role_count = 0;
	ble_cfg.gap_cfg.role_count_cfg.central_sec_count  = 0;
	err_code = sd_ble_cfg_set(BLE_GAP_CFG_ROLE_COUNT, &ble_cfg, ram_start);
	APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

    // Configure the maximum ATT MTU.
   memset(&ble_cfg, 0x00, sizeof(ble_cfg));
   ble_cfg.conn_cfg.conn_cfg_tag                 = CONN_CFG_TAG;
   ble_cfg.conn_cfg.params.gatt_conn_cfg.att_mtu = NRF_BLE_GATT_MAX_MTU_SIZE;
   err_code = sd_ble_cfg_set(BLE_CONN_CFG_GATT, &ble_cfg, ram_start);
   APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

   // Configure the maximum event length.
   memset(&ble_cfg, 0x00, sizeof(ble_cfg));
   ble_cfg.conn_cfg.conn_cfg_tag                     = CONN_CFG_TAG;
   ble_cfg.conn_cfg.params.gap_conn_cfg.event_length = 320;
   ble_cfg.conn_cfg.params.gap_conn_cfg.conn_count   = BLE_GAP_CONN_COUNT_DEFAULT;
   err_code = sd_ble_cfg_set(BLE_CONN_CFG_GAP, &ble_cfg, ram_start);
   APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
</pre>

the GATT Init part to:

<pre>
err_code = nrf_ble_gatt_att_mtu_periph_set(&m_gatt, NRF_BLE_GATT_MAX_MTU_SIZE);
	APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

	uint8_t data_length = ((uint8_t)NRF_BLE_GATT_MAX_MTU_SIZE + 4);
	nrf_ble_gatt_data_length_set(&m_gatt, BLE_CONN_HANDLE_INVALID, data_length);

	ble_opt_t opt;

	memset(&opt, 0x00, sizeof(opt));
	opt.common_opt.conn_evt_ext.enable = 1;

	err_code = sd_ble_opt_set(BLE_COMMON_OPT_CONN_EVT_EXT, &opt);
	APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

	NRF_LOG_DEBUG("Setting connection event length extension to %u: 0x%x\r\n", 1, err_code);
</pre>

and add this part to advertise init part (on the end):

<pre>
ble_advertising_conn_cfg_tag_set(CONN_CFG_TAG);
</pre>

@gotthcha

I have try to modify MTU size before, but on CSR and BRCM platform.

And I have a question for u, which version u r current using? iOS 10?

As I remember, when in iOS 7 MTU size on the iPhone can only up to 128 byte

iOS 8 MTU size 135, iOS 9 MTU size 158, iOS 10 MTU size is 185 byte,

This image below is the nRF52832 connect with iOS 9,

Can U just using 185 byte or less, and give it a try?

BTW: "Invalid Parameter" is the error code 0x07 u got.

#define 	NRF_ERROR_INVALID_PARAM   (NRF_ERROR_BASE_NUM + 7)
