Write failed for device on large BLE packets

Expected Behavior

Module should be able to handle all size of packets that are written. If packets are too large for the MTU, break them up automatically.

Current Behavior

When trying to send large packets (148 bytes in this case) the following non-descriptive error is seen

[BleError: Characteristic 06d1e5e7-79ad-4a71-8faa-373789f7d93c write failed for device 20:FA:BB:06:AF:94 and service bc2f4cc6-aaef-4351-9034-d66268e328f0]

This occurs when using writeCharactersticWithResponseForDevice. I have tried to use writeCharactersticWithoutResponseForDevice but the device never receives the data. Everything works correctly up until this large packet is sent Sending smaller packets have no issues.

Immediately prior to the failed packet the device successfully received and responded to multiple smaller packets (5 to 18 bytes).

I have tried changing the MTU to 150 and 300 but receive the same error.

Originally the package used was 1.0.1, after upgrading to 2.0.1 the problem still remains.

I found this bug report for a similar issue but it doesn't explain if or how it was fixed https://github.com/Polidea/react-native-ble-plx/issues/549

Steps to Reproduce

Please provide detailed steps for reproducing the issue.

Connect to a BLE device
Attempt to send a large packet to the device (148 bytes in my case)
The device with either not receive the packet or will fail with the error above
