Enable pairing without bonding on Windows 10 and iOS

[Hanss]

Hi, I am developing a modification of ble_app_hids_keyboard' example using SDK 17.4 Ver of nrf52.

The BLE behavior I want is pairing without bonding, and I found this: peer manager using

After modifying the peer_manager as above, it works fine on Android, but it works abnormally on iOS and Windows 10.

On iOS, I can connect to the device, but I can only disconnect by turning off Bluetooth on the device or iOS.
On Windows 10, after connecting to the device, a 'driver error' is displayed and it does not work properly.

How should we approach the above issues?

yes, I am using that setting.

On the other hand, the Just Works bonding setup works fine on Windows.

Hi,

Looking at the HID over GATT Bluetooth profile https://www.bluetooth.com/specifications/specs/hid-over-gatt-profile-1-0/ , you need to bond.

Thanks,

To achieve the desired behavior, we decided to test using 'ble_app_uart' instead of 'ble_app_hids_keyboard'.
