Hi all, I'm trying to build a GATT-based service that exposes some characteristics that can be accessed by clients; I'm using gatt_add_service_add for that, and the BLExplr app on the iPhone side. The good news is that it seems to be possibly to do so :-) (I'm using git master + the 128-bit uuid patch I wrote); however, it seems the service is not advertised; I need to connect to the device first before I can see it; at least when trying with an iPhone. So, a few questions: - Is any extra step is needed to advertise the service beyond gatt_service_add and 'hciconfig leadv'? (It seems that neither mine, nor any of the other services (proximity, time, alert, ...) are recognized until after I connect(*). After connection, I can see all of them. - It also seems the device stops advertising after a while -- is there some way to programmatically put it in advertising mode (like hciconfig leadv) and keep it that way? - Should the UUID of the service be part of the UUIDs property in org.Bluez.Adapter1 and org.bluez.Device1? (I tried 'btmgmt aad-uuid <uuid> 0' and then then <uuid> becomes visible in the org.bluez.Device1 UUIDs, but sadly, the iPhone still doesn't seem to see it, pre-connection). I don't really know what to expect, what things I may be missing, and if perhaps things are missing in Bluez implementation, so any help is welcome! Thanks in advance, Dirk. [ my apologies if you received this message more than once; it seems the message didn't reach the mailing list, so I tried again... ] (*) but for some reason, in the aforementioned app, I can see the 'Tx Power Level' value before connection. -- Dirk-Jan C.
