bluetooth connection is immediately disconnecting multipeer framework - ios

Question

I am trying to establish one to one peer connection using multipeer connectivity framework. When i am sending invitation to nearby peer that device gets connected(sometime takes long time to get connected), and the peer which has send the request is always taking long time to change its state to connected & once it is connected immediately it is disconnecting from the session. I tried to debug the issue but not found anything, dont know what wrong is happening, please let me know if i am missing anything or any mistake is done in code.
Below given is the code snippet of the same.

Check for BTM disconnection to service message in the logs .It is a problem with Apple Bluetooth which they have acknowledged.Try without Bluetooth i.e peer-peer wifi or infrastructure networks
