I start testing this morning (by the way - aren’t you living in the US? Work 24/7?)
Yes, I am in the US, I just try to respond to users throughout the day as I know there are a lot of customers in other countries that are starting their day when I'm ending mine.
As far as the new build, I'm glad you found some measure of success. I'm not sure I could completely follow why you had to uninstall/reinstall so many times. Hopefully it works reliably once you have it set up the way you want. You said that MobileSheets is sending the wrong MIDI messages when you load songs though? I'm not sure how that's possible, as it should send whatever message you've configured for the song on the MIDI tab of the song editor.
As far as the "peripheral" mode, I have no idea what that's changing in the WIDI Master, but it shouldn't impact the connection that MobileSheets makes. There isn't code written to specifically handle the WIDI Master - it's generic code that implements the MIDI over BLE specification that should work with any device. As you've seen though, things can get messy with bluetooth pairing and the states of the devices, so when all else fails, you need to unpair everything and reset the pairing on the WIDI Master itself.
As far as the iPadOS version, that uses Apple's MIDI implementation. I do not use third party code for that and have little to no control over how it works. Once the connection is established, I receive and send MIDI messages through bluetooth the same way as I do through USB (compared to Android where I have completely different implementations for each). So if you are having issues on iPadOS, it's most likely something to do with the WIDI Master itself.
