Why the Android Mesh app can not receive the the publish data from the 0xffff address?

Hi guys. Why the Android Mesh app can not receive the the publish data from the 0xffff address?

As we do below:

step 1 : we use 2xP10040 development kit and an android phone. Mesh SDK V2.2

step 2: we use the android nrf mesh app to add the 2 p10040 development kit to the network, one of them is the light switch(proxy server, network address is 0x0001), another is light switch(proxy client , network address is 0x0002)

step 3: both the device had added the network key and everything is ready. then we set the publish address of the proxy client device is 0x001, so the proxy client can control the proxy server's led on/off .

step 4: as we know , the nrf mesh app default network address is 0x07ff, so we set the publish address of the proxy server device is 0x07ff. And then when we use the proxy client device to control the proxy server device's led on/off, the nrf mesh app can receive the status message of the proxy server device. But, when we set the publish address of the proxy server device is the 0xffff, the nrf mesh app can not receive that publish message any longer.
