2 years ago (There are a whole bunch more 16 bit UUIDs listed on the SIG site, but I reject the idea of using 16 bit UUIDs for anything on principle: https://btprodspecificationrefs.blob.core.windows.net/assigned-values/16-bit%20UUID%20Numbers%20Document.pdf)

Prerequisites
Please answer the following questions for yourself before submitting an issue.
New behavior
I think this would be helpful for others during debugging and development, especially when dealing with devices that don't have much documentation.
I think you should write a function to retrieve a service name or GATT description from a UUID if it's a known UUID. You could add another field to
Service, or you can add a free function to look it up... it doesn't really matter to me! I just found myself doing this while learning the protocol for my Aranet4. No need to be exhaustive.I extracted my own file containing Javascript
Maps of as many descriptions that I could compile from around the internet: https://gist.github.com/ariccio/2882a435c79da28ba6035a14c5c65f22I'd open a PR, but I'm really not a Java developer, you wouldn't want me touching your codebase :)
In a better world, the Bluetooth consortium might make this more easily retrievable via an API or something. There are a number of similar things implemented one-off all around the internet, including the Linux kernel Bluetooth stack. I'm going to file similar issues with other BLE toolchains/platforms I've used lately, why has nobody thought of this?
Acceptance criteria
Please provide detailed steps to accomplish proposed feature.
Breaking changes
None. Might be a few extra KB of overhead.
