I have added a custom characteristic to a service using the HomeKit Simulator. However when I add it, despite I include the manufactorer description, a UUID is shown instead of the description.
How can I display the description instead?
The first characteristic is a standard one ("On/Off": boolean). The other ones are custom.
Until now the HomeKit Accessory Simulator (1.1) cannot be configured to show manufacturer description, as you want to.
At least in version 1.1 custom services can be attached and achieve a corresponding name, that the developer is able to distinguish. Characteristics can still not be named and remains a UUID mess. But as far as I know, this version (1.1) is only rolled out to MFi participants.
