fair, I wouldn’t want a business model that’s dependent on something they could take away overnight.

so that’s discovery, I don’t have any ideas about retention offhand (you already do) but you’ve had that question rattling around for awhile and it’s new to me.

Yeah exactly. Apple has a history of quietly changing undocumented behavior between point releases. Building on top of that is asking for a fun debugging session six months from now. The GATT handshake adds a couple seconds of latency on reconnect but at least I know it won't break with iOS 19.
