nRF Beacon for Eddystone problem

With Eddystone example in SDK12.0.0 I am trying to configure with nRF Beacon for Eddystone application but every time I change the URL "www.nordicsemi.com/" to something else like "https://www.google.com/" or anything else my Iphone couldn't find physical web device's with chrome. But it's working with "www.nordicsemi.com/.../Products".

  • Hi,

    Google's Physical Web scanner will only show https URLs. This is done for security purposes to make sure no one could be subjected to a man in the middle attack.

    I also recommend upgrading to SDK 12.2, where the old Eddystone example was replaced with the Nordic Eddystone SDK that was previously only available on the Nordic GitHub site. The new example follows the newest Eddystone specification and adds support for EID/eTLM.

    You should also check out the nRF Beacon for Eddystone app. By using the Eddystone GATT configuration service, the app allows you to easily configure the Eddystone beacon using your phone.
