Core Bluetooth - Unable to Write Value using CBCharacteristicWriteType.WithResponse

I am designing an iOS app with a custom made bluetooth enabled device that sends and receives text from my iPhone. I am able to send text data to the device when I send a CBCharacteristicWriteType.WithoutResponse, but that using that sends data as best-effort and not guaranteed according to Apple documentation. When I try writing data using .WithResponse, I get an unknown error, so I downloaded the BT Server Log on my iPhone, and saw the following message:

writeCharacteristic - Notice - ATT - Writing value with response to characteristic handle 0x0025 on device "(#my device number#)"

runCommand - Error - ATT - Characteristic handle 0x0024 is not writeable!

processCommands - Error - ATT - Command failed for device "(#my device number#)"

Would this be an issue with the bluetooth chip? Or am I doing something wrong? Any input is greatly appreciated! If any extra code is required, let me know and I'll put it up!

You need to examine the properties of your CBCharacteristic on your CBService - If CBCharacteristicPropertyWrite is specified then the characteristic supports write with a response. If only CBCharacteristicPropertyWriteWithoutResponse is specified then you can't execute a write with response.

To change this you will need to modify the firmware in your BLE device.
