bluetooth.connect with autoDiscoverAll hangs on iOS for BT Assigned Numbers

I'm investigating an issue where bluetooth.connect() fails to resolve the promise when a serviceUUID falls under the Bluetooth Assigned Numbers list:

• BT specification: https://www.bluetooth.com/specifications/assigned-numbers/

my project versions:

{
        "@nativescript/core": "^8.4.1",
        "@nativescript-community/ble": "^3.1.11",
}

the call to bluetooth.connect():

            await this.bluetooth.connect({
                UUID: deviceUuid,
                // autoDiscoverAll causes the hang... but only for those Assigned Number serviceUUIDs (link above)
                autoDiscoverAll: true, 
                onConnected: (peripheral) => {
                    // the onConnected() callback is never called... 
                },
                onDisconnected: function (peripheral) {
                    // onDisconnected IS called, on disconnect
                }
            });

I have tracked the problem down to:
https://github.com/nativescript-community/ble/blob/master/src/bluetooth.ios.ts#L1643-L1644

    @bluetoothEnabled
    @prepareArgs
    public discoverCharacteristics(args: DiscoverCharacteristicsOptions) {
        // ...
                    const sUUID = CBUUIDToString(service.UUID);
                    if (UUID === pUUID && sUUID === args.serviceUUID) {
                        // ...
                    }
        // ...
    }

the issue is the following comparison fails:

# "0000181a-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb" == "181a"
sUUID === args.serviceUUID

args.serviceUUID is being be modified by the decorator prepareArgs() to a "Short UUID", if the service's UUID matches a Bluetooth Assigned Number of the form

const pattern = /0000(.{4})-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb/;

however, sUUID returned by CBUUIDToString(service.UUID) is a "Long UUID"

Long vs Short UUIDs:

I'll work on a fix and submit a PR today hopefully...

Start in src/bluetooth.ios.ts at discoverCharacteristics, then trace how the prepareArgs decorator changes args.serviceUUID. Reproduce the Assigned Numbers case with autoDiscoverAll enabled and verify that UUID comparison completes discovery and invokes onConnected instead of leaving the promise unresolved.
