The proximity service requires pairing, so it won't be a good proximity implementation if you disable pairing. However, it the pairing was the issue you may be able to get back to normal operation by going into the bluetooth setting on your iOS device and make sure that paired devices is emptied or at least that the proximity device isn't in there.

It looks like my problem is caused by bonding. I was using my own iOS app as the central.

However when I switch to LightBlue for iOS, I get an “Bluetooth Pairing Request” pop-up.

This pairing request seems to happen every time I connect to the perpherial. After pairing, the characteristic writes do work.

Is there a way to disable bonding?

I tried clearing this parameter in the prox example, but it still seems to want to pair/bond.

define SEC_PARAM_BOND 0

What are you connecting the example to when you try to write to the Immediate Alert Service? Keep in mind that you have to be bonded to be able to access this service. Could it be that you are not bonded when you attempt to write to the Immediate Alert Service?
