no workaround needed.

there are shitloads of ios obd apps that do not use spp, many of which
use bluetooth le, which is even easier to use than outdated spp.

some might not be, however, there are numerous ios obd apps that are as
good and even better than torque.

nonsense. bluetooth le is not a profile. it's an entirely new protocol
which is *far* more reliable and much easier to use than spp. it's also
much faster than obd, so no issues whatsoever with speed.

the btle obd adapters work exceptionally well.

more nonsense. *anything* the user wants to transfer can *easily* be
done via via the lightning port or more easily via wifi. 

just because *you* can't figure out how doesn't mean it's impossible.

that's not clever at all. in fact, that's so ridiculously convoluted
that it's almost funny that someone would even consider it a solution.
