That's an Apple thing - Apple does not give apps access to the MAC address.

They see it as a security/privacy issue.

Hey,

Do you know why those address are not presented on the IOS version of nRF Connect?

How can I know the address?

Thanks!

Hi,

You can refer to for instance refer to the HID Keyboard Application to see how whitelisting is implemented there. Essentially the Peer manager library which handles bonding also takes care of the IRK, so it is quite straightforward.

Dear Einar Thorsrud ,

Thank you.

I have searched a lot to find an example code which uses whitlist ans irk.

But I could not find it. The 'ble_app_hids_keyboard' also does not giving a good understanding( or I could not understand it fully) . I have raised a query on the same( https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/42047/set-and-activate-whitelist-in-sdk15-with-android-phone). But nobody replied on this till now.

I could make it work with random static address.

But I could make it work when we need to use irk.

Will you please help me in this?

Any kind of help will be greatly appreciated.

Yes. However, if the peer device use privacy (random resolvable address) then you need to whitelist the IRK. This is used to resolve the address so that you can know that it is the same device even though the address changes.

Is it the same to be used in the whitelist?
