Thanks for the update. I'll test as soon as the app is available.

I wrote an answer below. TL;DR: will be available in 4.3 in few days (Apple verification time).

Hi Adrian,

We were working on DFU Libraries some time ago and added support for the Experimental Buttonless feature for both Android and iOS. However, the iOS nRF Toolbox app has not been updated back then and it's still using the library without this feature. Sorry!

We will release nRF Toolbox v4.3 shortly which will use the DFU Library 3.0.6. We will also print the version of the DFU Lib on the DFU screen to avoid misunderstandings in the future. For now you may use the Example app (but you'd have to compile it yourself (pods try iOSDFULibrary) to include your own ZIP file there. However, the verification process in Apple is now fairly quick so the update should be visible in few days.

There are no more changes in the nRF Toolbox 4.2->4.3 except upgrading DFU Lib version. I'll come back to you when the app is online.

Hi Adrian,

Have you added the bugfixes to the known issues with the buttonless example found in this list?

I tried performing DFU with the experimental buttonless example(with the fixes above) flashed to one of our NRF52 DKs along with the S132 v3.0.0 SoftDevice using an Iphone and the nRF Toolbox app. I had the same experience as you, I was not able to start the DFU process. I tried the same thing with an Android phone and the nRF Connect app and it worked without any issues. I will report this to our App Developer and come back to you with an answer.

Yes, we're planning on adding a proper buttonless DFU example in an upcoming release.

Best regards

Bjørn
