Great that you got help through MyPage and got your problem solved! I'm not sure what caused this delay, I cannot see anything on our side causing delay in case postings. If you experience any similar problems at a later stage, please message me and I'll look further into it.

This is strange - I tried to post this message last week and it did not work, and now all of a sudden it showed up. I ended up going through the Nordic MyPage thing and getting help that way. In the end, upgrading to the latest version of the SDK (12.2.0) solved my problem and the demo is working now. The only quirk seems to be that it doesn't work immediately after programming in the files with nrfgo Studio. I have to power cycle the boards - but that's fine. Thanks!

The central should automatically find the server and connect to it. Which boards are you testing this with? Can you try flashing the precompiled hex-files found in examples\ble_central\ble_app_uart_c\hex and examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_uart\hex to your boards and connect to them using UART, as described in method one of the section Testing and debugging a BLE service in this tutorial? You should not press any buttons to send data, just type something in one terminal and it should pop up in the other terminal.
