How to add custom UUIDs definitions in nRF Connect for Mobile?

[zpm1066]

Hello,

In nRF Connect for Mobile, custom UUIDs show up as unknown, making it difficult to identify them easily.

Is there a way to add custom UUIDs, as can be done for example, on a Mac by adding the custom UUIDs to the "uuid_definitions.json" (located in folder /Users/username/Library/Application\ Support/nrfconnect)?

If not, How do I request an enhancement to nRF Connect for Mobile?

Thank you.

Hi,

Are you using Android? If so, I just had a talk with the engineer responsible for that app. What you do is to long tap and select, and then press the edit icon.

Hi Elfving,

Thank you for your response. Sounds good. I'm on an iPhone.

Please let me know the appropriate action is to load the custom UUIds on an iPhone.

Hi Elfving,

I took another look at the nRF Connect for Mobile iPhone version. I can set the data parser for a Characteristic (e.g. Hex to Unsigned int) but don't see a way to import custom UUIDs. There is a file import for DFU.

Hopefully there is a method of importing custom UUIDs, as can be done on a Mac/PC.

Unfortunately nRF Connect for Mobile for iOS does not support adding custom UUIDs as of now. 

Though the app has no database of its own, instead it downloads the UUIDs from here. Meaning that there is one workaround. You can make a pull request with your own UUIDs, and the app will update itself with them.

Hi Elfving,

Thank you.

How do I submit an enhancement request to the nRF Connect for Mobile team for adding custom UUIDs from a UUID definitions file?
