BTLE ServiceData is always null - react-native

Question

I am working on a react-native Android app using react-native-ble-plx for BTLE support, and Windows 10 using the .NET API Windows.Devices.Bluetooth.GenericAttributeProfile for the GATT server/peripheral.
When I add any "ServiceData" to the advertising payload in the Windows GATT service, the scanned device's 'serviceData' payload is always null in the react-native client.
In the Windows 10 server, if the GattServiceProviderAdvertisingParameters.ServiceData property is not null, then the service advertisement status is GattServiceProviderAdvertisementStatus.StartedWithoutAllAdvertisementData. (When leaving 'ServiceData' set to null, it is GattServiceProviderAdvertisementStatus.Started, as expected).
Using the Silicon Labs "EFR Connect" app in android, it also does not show any ServiceData for the device in the advertising packet.
Using WireShark with BTVS to inspect the packets on the Windows machine, it does show the Service Data bytes, and the controller shows a 'Success' response.
Here is the code where I set up the ServiceData in Windows:
...
GattServiceProviderAdvertisingParameters advParameters = new GattServiceProviderAdvertisingParameters
{
IsConnectable = _peripheralSupported,
IsDiscoverable = true,
ServiceData = GetServiceData().AsBuffer()
};
_serviceProvider.AdvertisementStatusChanged += ServiceProvider_AdvertisementStatusChanged;
_serviceProvider.StartAdvertising(advParameters);
...
private byte[] GetServiceData()
{
var flagsData = new List<byte> { 0xFF, 0xFF, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 };
flagsData.AddRange(new List<byte>(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP")));
return flagsData.ToArray();
}
Here is the code in the react-native scanner:
public scanDevices(
timeoutSeconds: number,
listener: (error: string | null, scannedDevice: IPhoenixDevice | null) => void,
): void {
console.log('Entered PhoenixDeviceManager.scanDevices');
this.isScanning = true;
try {
this.scannedDevices.length = 0; // Clear array of devices
this.bleManager.startDeviceScan(this.serviceUUIDs, null, (error, scannedDevice) => {
console.log('In device scan callback');
if (error) {
console.warn(error);
listener(`Error message: ${error.message}, reason: ${error.reason}`, null);
}
if (!scannedDevice) {
console.log('scannedDevice is null');
} else if (!this.scannedDevices.some((d) => d.id === scannedDevice.id)) {
this.scannedDevices.push(scannedDevice);
listener(null, new PhoenixDevice(scannedDevice.id, scannedDevice.name));
console.log(
`Device discovered, id: ${scannedDevice.id}, name: ${scannedDevice.name}, localName: ${scannedDevice.localName}, serviceData: ${scannedDevice.serviceData}`,
);
}
});
const timeoutMs = timeoutSeconds * 1000;
// stop scanning devices after specified number of seconds
setTimeout(() => {
this.stopScanning();
}, timeoutMs);
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
this.stopScanning();
}
}
Here is the WireShark trace running on Windows 10 showing the packet containing the ServiceData (and the Success response):

I've also tried using the exact code verbatim in this example and it has the exact same problem:

Does anyone know what the problem might be?
