Thanks for your answer Luiz! >From what I can see, Android and iOS Bluetooth Stack libraries don't claim the device_information service. Could it be possible to make it so that the plugin doesn't block other clients (such as the Web Bluetooth API) from interacting with that service. Also, do you know if other services (like device_information) are blocked/claimed by other plugins?
