What happened?

I'm using the iOS example applications, completely out of the box, on the following devices:

• iPhone 13 - iOS 16.5.1
• iPad Air - iPadOS 16.5.1

And the following happens:

RPReplay_Final1687951904.MP4

This is not app related, as I've ran into this issue on an app I'm developing before testing with the example.
It's also not strategy related as I'm running Point-to-Point on my app and Cluster on the example.

What did you expect to happen?

The device list should not have duplicates.

How can we reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)?

1. Start advertising on device 1
2. Start discovery on device 2
3. Toggle discovery between on and off several times
4. See the list grow

How often does this bug happen?

Every time

I just noticed that the issue lies in the usage of an Array rather than an Map, not sure if you will want to improve the example or keep it as it is so for now I'm leaving the issue open
