I've noticed the same thing about trying to do things you "shouldn't" with IOS.

there is a good example with iOS code you can use on this blog site http://embeddedsoftdev.blogspot.ca/p/ehal-nrf51.html

The Blinky_be example on this blog allows you to control all 30 i/o pin. The iOS App configure the pin direction (IN or OUT). The iOS App can turn On or Off each i/o pin are all 30 at once. It make use of 2 characteristics. One for configuration, the other for data.

Other examples showing control of LED matrix multi-display where you can type a text on iOS and send it to the Matrix displays. This examples make use of long characteristic write where you can send more than 20 bytes of data.

A UART examples with long write. UART data in/out using one characteristic. iOS App serving as dump terminal.

All examples are updated with SDK6 and SD7 and all projects were created from scratch using Eclipse IDE based project.

There are connection parameters from Apple that you must follow, otherwise the iOS device might drop its connection to your board. Apple also provide recommended advertising intervals.

In terms of compatibility with custom profiles, the only thing I've seen in the past was that iOS doesn't work well if you try to Write-with-response to a characteristic that is Write-without-response. And vise versa. Android doesn't care as much about this alignment, but iOS does.
