 I&amp;#39;m new to nRF8001 SDK and Bluetooth and I hope my questions are not too stupid lol. So here it goes: 
 I&amp;#39;m using the Nordic nRF8001 SDK to implement a self-defined service with vendor specific UUID, in order to communicate with an iPhone app</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Wed, 18 Jun 2014 16:38:29 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/2800/pipe-always-not-available-for-a-notification-enabled-characteristic" /><item><title>RE: Pipe always not available for a notification enabled characteristic</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/10753?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 18 Jun 2014 16:38:29 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:db608f41-530a-4404-b8a4-571e45e46709</guid><dc:creator>Richard T</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Thank you for the quick response!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Pipe always not available for a notification enabled characteristic</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/10752?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 16 Jun 2014 11:48:37 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:b5b9cae1-eabe-463f-b9bf-8871af9a5f2e</guid><dc:creator>run_ar</dc:creator><description>&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Yes, the central can enable/disable notifications or indications by writing to the CCCD.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;There is always Link layer acknowledgment in BLE, so this shouldn&amp;#39;t be a problem. Note that iOS doesn&amp;#39;t necessarily remember the states of the CCCD&amp;#39;s of a device after disconnecting and reconnecting to a device.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You can check if the pipe is available using lib_aci_is_pipe_available. Note that we had a bug in the earlier SDK where the pipe updating was wrong. Make sure youe use the latest SDK.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Yes. notice the earlier mentioned caveats.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
