Bluetooth Problems when peripheral exits

I've got a bluetooth peripheral running on an iPhone - it is a simple BLE GATT peripheral publishing a service with a couple of characteristic values. The iPhone app works great, and I can access it from another phone, or desktop...
Now, on HoloLens since the OS is only 10.0.14393 it doesn't have the full BLE API support nor the ability to communicate without pairing. But thats fine, I can pre-pair my iPhone app and then access the service via GattDeviceService.FromIdAsync(). Further I can even register with my peripheral to receive notifications of value changes.
So thats all good. EXCEPT... if my iphone app is terminated whilst my HoloLens is receiving data from it, then somehow the pairing is broken, so further attempts to talk to my app no longer work. :- ( The HoloLens never finds the device again.
The only work around is to go int HoloLens Settings -> Bluetooth and unpair the phone and pair it again.
Anyone came across this? This means I cant rely on Bluetooth to communicate with my phone. :-(
I'm sure once HoloLens gets an OS update it will get all the new BLE API. But for now, I'm stuck.
