Can you provide more context here? I'm not sure what you're asking for.

BLE allows you to advertise services. These can contain manufacturer data. As every platform supports sending BLE advertisements, I thought it would only make sense, if this crate exposed them as well.

We already handle that, it's on the peripheral properties struct, as manufacturer_data.

I can't seem to find a way to advertise a service. The peripheral properties struct only handles receiving advertisements.

That's out of the scope of this library. As the readme says, this is a host/central only library.
