After pairing and having subscribed to a service, and even after having exchanged messages, the service fails after a period of time and both devices need to pair again.

If you can reproduce the problem with our sample code then the path forward here is clear: File a bug against Wi-Fi Aware explaining how to reproduce the issue with our sample.

When you file a bug you’ll be asked to include a sysdiagnose log. Trigger that log immediately after seeing the problem. And our Bug Reporting > Profiles and Logs page has a Wi-Fi for iOS/iPadOS entry that explains how to enable additional Wi-Fi specific logging.

Please post your bug number, just for the record.

I can validate that behavior. Basically following all that there is on the next few pages -> https://developer.apple.com/documentation/wifiaware/building-peer-to-peer-apps after one device become subscriber and the other publisher in a while the same application will want again devices to pair with pin otherwise they will never connect.
