NRF connect mobile app server advertising address

Hello,

How to find NRF connect mobile app server's address in the app to be used for connecting to peer devices ? Is there any way that the device address does not change randomly or can be seen after configuring as GATT server?

Thanks.

  • Hi, 

    I don't think you can modify the address type of the phones which are resolvable addresses. Those are generated from an identity resolving key (IRK) and a random number, and they can be changed often (even during the lifetime of a connection) to avoid the device being identified and tracked by an unknown scanning device. Only devices that possess the IRK distributed by the device using a private resolvable address can actually resolve that address, allowing them to identify the device.

    I would suggest you take a look Heart Rate Application how to handle it by the Peer Manager/id_manager.
