Hello nRF Team,
I am developing a ble terminal app based on the Bluetooth: Peripheral UART sample (nRF Connect SDKv2.7.0) on nRF52840DK. I was testing the app BLE pairing and bonding capability with the nRF52840 Dongle & nRF Desktop app, and I encountered the Dongle could not pair with the DK when CONFIG_BT_SETTINGS=y.
The nRF Desktop app log

Further testing with other andriod phones show simailiar behaviour. My question is what is the cause this issue and is there any workaround/solution to this issue, as my app required ble bonding capability?
Thank you!
