nRF52 BLE UART multiple connection Android/iOS device

[Krystian]

Hi, is there any way to connect at the same time multiple devices with Android/iOS nRF UART app to an nRF52832 with ble_app_uart example? I was thinking about adding advertising to central links but I don't know if it is possible.

As a peripheral our SoftDevices can only be connected to one central. If you want one nRF device to be connected to several devices, the nRF has to be central, and the other devices has to be peripherals.

So I need to write an app for iOS/Andriod which is peripheral and then it should work (if I add more centrals to the nRF device)?

It should work from the nRF side, I don't have experience with iOS/Android apps as a peripheral, as this is fairly new, but yes, it should work.
