RE: iOS: notify device name changed

Hi,

I don't think using "Service Changed" can help here. Doing Service Changed only trigger the phone to do service discovery, not clearing the name cached on advertising packets.

Usually to force the phone to clear the advertising name cache we have to turn off and on Bluetooth.

Another option is to change the device address when you have a new name, this way you appear as a new device to the phone. This won't work if you want to keep bond information.
