Fast Pair - Locator Tag Example Failing

[Sri1998]

Hai,

I am trying the fast pair - locator tag example on my nRF52833. I am using SDK version 2.7.0. The code is compiled and flash properly. In the serial terminal getting the following error.

Can you help me enable the Locator Tag example in nRF52833.

Hello,

Did you register your own user with Google to get your own set of keys, or did you use the default set? It looks like it is this part that it doesn't recognize as valid. 

Did you specify any keys when you built, like described here?

https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-latest/page/nrf/external_comp/bt_fast_pair.html#provisioning_registration_data_onto_device

Best regards,

I am using default set provided by Nordic. So I didn't add any keys. While compiling it said 

 -------------------------------------------------------
    --- WARNING: Using demo Fast Pair Model ID and Fast ---
    --- Pair Anti Spoofing Key, it should not be used   ---
    --- for production.                                 ---
    -------------------------------------------------------

I flashed the merged.hex file now and the error is solved. But the device is not getting discovered in android phone, Installed Find My Device app and given permission for finding offline devices with network in all areas. After reading the documentation I have clicked Button 1 to start fast pair advertising. It says "I: Fast Pair: advertising in the discoverable mode" in the terminal. I am able to find it in the nRF Connect scanner page. Not getting any pop-up for connecting to my devices. 

Regards,

Sri

Hello Sri,

Sorry for not replying to your ticket today. I will ask around tomorrow about the behavior of Fast Pair, as I have not tried it before. It could be that it doesn't give the full experience with demo ID and key (as that would be an easy way to spam a lot of users, I would imgaine).

Best regards,

Edvin

Hello Edvin,

Thank you. I'd like to confirm if the example code works on my nRF52833 so that I can obtain my own Model ID and Anti-Spoofing Key.

Best Regards,

Sri

Hello,

It seems like you do need a test account with Google:

https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-latest/page/nrf/samples/bluetooth/fast_pair/locator_tag/README.html#testing

I thought I read that somewhere, but I couldn't find it again, but there it is. Your account, which will be listed with Google, needs to be enabled by Google in order to test uncertified devices.

Best regards,

Edvin
