adding buttonless DFU service to my app changes the base UUID of my service in the advertisement packet

Yes, because BLE_UUID_TYPE_VENDOR_BEGIN point to the first base UUID in the database. if you initialize the DFU service first, then the first base UUID will be the DFU service . You can try

static ble_uuid_t m_adv_uuids[] = /**< Universally unique service identifiers. */
{
{BLE_UUID_SLOG_SERVICE, BLE_UUID_TYPE_VENDOR_BEGIN+1},
};

Then you will see your service base UUID. Just need to match the uuid_type value you get when you call sd_ble_uuid_vs_add() for your service.

this is the definition of m_adv_uuids.

static ble_uuid_t m_adv_uuids[] =   /**< Universally unique service identifiers. */
{
    {BLE_UUID_SLOG_SERVICE, BLE_UUID_TYPE_VENDOR_BEGIN},
};

and that's the uuid for my service and it is a #define

#define BLE_UUID_SLOG_SERVICE         0x45FB

the issue is I'm getting the base uuid of the buttonless dfu service and my service's uuid

You may want to find out what is inside m_adv_uuids, how it's initialized.

if I initialize my service first then it works fine. doing the opposite mixes things up. my initialization is as follows.

static ble_uuid_t m_adv_uuids[] =   /**< Universally unique service identifiers. */
{
    {BLE_UUID_SLOG_SERVICE, BLE_UUID_TYPE_VENDOR_BEGIN},
};



static void advertising_init(void)
{
    ret_code_t             err_code;
    ble_advertising_init_t init;

    memset(&init, 0, sizeof(init));

    init.advdata.name_type               = BLE_ADVDATA_FULL_NAME;
    init.advdata.include_appearance      = false;
    init.advdata.flags                   = BLE_GAP_ADV_FLAGS_LE_ONLY_GENERAL_DISC_MODE;
    init.srdata.uuids_more_available.uuid_cnt = sizeof(m_adv_uuids) / sizeof(m_adv_uuids[0]);
    init.srdata.uuids_more_available.p_uuids  = m_adv_uuids;

    init.config.ble_adv_fast_enabled  = true;
    init.config.ble_adv_fast_interval = APP_FAST_ADV_INTERVAL;
    init.config.ble_adv_fast_timeout  = APP_FAST_ADV_DURATION;

    init.config.ble_adv_slow_enabled  = true;
    init.config.ble_adv_slow_interval = APP_SLOW_ADV_INTERVAL;
    init.config.ble_adv_slow_timeout  = APP_SLOW_ADV_DURATION;

    init.evt_handler = on_adv_evt;

    err_code = ble_advertising_init(&m_advertising, &init);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

    ble_advertising_conn_cfg_tag_set(&m_advertising, APP_BLE_CONN_CFG_TAG);
}

Hi,

Please post how you initialize your advertising packet.

I think you should check which service got the call sd_ble_uuid_vs_add() first. In particular check if your service or the buttonless service get the uuid_type = BLE_UUID_TYPE_VENDOR_BEGIN (which is the first vendor specific base UUID in the data base) after the call sd_ble_uuid_vs_add.
