ANCS problem

iOS will automatically reconnect to an ANCS peripheral. This means the application you are using has to use the retrieveConnectedPeripheralsWithServices: method to connect to the peripheral. Unfortunately I don't think Lightblue does this.

Thank you for your help. I finally resolved this problem by disabling the whitelist function. Now I hava another question. I use "lightblue" APP to test my code. Everytime I back to the "peripherals nearby" page, the name of my device will turn grey. And I have to forget the device on settings, if I want to use lightblue to connect it again. Now the question is how should I do to keep my device avertising after I back to the peripherals nearby page? Thank you.

The ANCS example will advertise using a whitelist once bonded. This means connection requests from unknown devices will be ignored. You can disable the whitelist by triggering BSP_EVENT_WHITELIST_OFF (main.c line 649) in the bsp_event_handler (push button 1 to disable the whitelist).

Alternatively you can turn off the whitlist altogether by changing options.ble_adv_whitelist_enabled in advertising init() (main.c line 808).

Hi Frank. Merry Christmas. I think that it is not the matter of ANCS example. You should properly make a decision when to advertise (fast/slow, direct.. or not) and how to manage device manager maintain previously paired device information.

6 month ago I also tested that example, I made an pairing with my iPhone and when I bring it to my home, there is no problem on pairing with my wife's iPhone.

I think you missed re-advertising when it is disconnected with your iPhone.
