Conceptual questions. Why do we have to discover services again?

[Ricardo Ruiz Lopez]

Hello,

There is something I don't understand here:

manager.scanForPeripherals(withServices: [serviceId])
    .take(1)
    .flatMap { $0.peripheral.establishConnection() }
    .flatMap { $0.discoverServices([serviceId]) }
    .flatMap { Observable.from($0) }
    .flatMap { $0.discoverCharacteristics([characteristicId]) }
    .flatMap { Observable.from($0) }
    .flatMap { $0.readValue() }
    .subscribe(onNext: { print("Value: \($0.value)") })

What is the reason of using discoverServices if we already know that the device has the service we want? (using scanForPeripherals)

And another question, in iOS, can I use a service that is not being advertised?
It seems in android is possible but according to this, that is not possible in iOS (second response):

What do you think about that? Thanks a lot.

using scanForPeripherals only get peripheral and advertisementData，sure，you can get serverid from advertisementData，but the serverid from advertisementData is not always equal to the serviceid
from discoverServices
