Hi,
just for reference: with an iPhone SE the BLE communication is working properly.
Best regards,
Christian
Hi,
i’m using:
Blynk App Android 2.27.0
Blynk Lib Arduino 0.5.4
ESP32 core (last stable version)
Mobile Samsung S5
From the App i cannot connect to the ESP32 module via BLE:
From the debug module this is the output:

[20919] DisconnectedSketch is the following:
#define BLYNK_PRINT Serial
#define BLYNK_DEBUG
#define BLYNK_USE_DIRECT_CONNECT
#include <BlynkSimpleEsp32_BLE.h>
#include <BLEDevice.h>
#include <BLEServer.h>
// You should get Auth Token in the Blynk App.
// Go to the Project Settings (nut icon).
char auth[] = "**AUTH_CODE**";
void setup()
{
// Debug console
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("Waiting for connections...");
Blynk.setDeviceName("ESP32BLE");
Blynk.begin(auth);
}
void loop()
{
Blynk.run();
}
Obviously AUTH_CODE is a 32 digits code generated by Blynk
What am i missing?
Yesterday we did uploaded a new build of same version with some fixes for BLE and some crash fixes. Please check if you have the latest version. Also you need to have in the sketch the same auth token that you have in your project’s device that is used for BLE widget, so the device with BLE connection type.

Absolutelly the same setup, except Samsung A5.
Output is different:

On smartphone I see: endless Connecting…
On Android tablet I see:
- Two copies of my ESP32 devices
- Debug ouput shows only last 9 symbols of auth string.
Anybody from Blynk stuff are going to solve the problem??
I have had issues connecting to BLE if I had multiple devices I was testing on.
Delete the BLE widget, then close/shutoff the App on all but one device then reload the widget and try again on that device alone.
I’m doing it permanently. One more detail:
BLE widget does not check correct device choosen, i.e. if no device was selected, BLE widget still trying to connect and hangs.
As could be seen from my first debug output, connection established for 9 seconds and then closing. If I have time to run Blynk project on phone, I see data transfer for theese 9 seconds.
From my testing, I don’t think it has that ability… it is meant to link between one phone/tablet and one BLE device, period, not pick and chose which currently active phone/tablet/App/device to connect to.
So pick the one you want to use “permanently” and test with that one alone, for now.
PS… this topic is about the BETA ESP32-BLE support… are you using an Arduino and a separate BLE module?
I did it several times.
Now the behaviours are absolutely symmetrical on Phone and Tablet:
9 seconds connection then fail. And endless Connecting… on BLE widget.
No, this is a side effect of choosing M5Stack-Core-ESP32 board. If I use ESP Dev Module this string is correct, but nothing changed.

OK, well, I loaded up an existing WiFi sketch and switched it over to BLE to give my own ESP32 a run…
Using the latest IDE installed core
And strangely, my sketch actually starts running a timed blinking vLED sequence while the connection attempt (according to the App) is still in progress… of course it never does connect for me either… just stays on this screen… forever???

I will have to take your word for it 
thankfully I use WiFi 99.9% of the time… that seems to work just fine 
Well, I have 3 ESP32 devices:
M5Stack Core, M5Stack Fire, ESP-WROVER-KIT and Samsung A5 + Chuwi V89.
With all possible combinations I got results as in my first post. So, I gues it was rather comprehensive experiment.
PS
I did not try Arduino iDE yet. All tests were done with VisualMicro and platformio.
I did… and no worky either. But it did at one time, for me, back at the beginning timeframe of this topic… so later Core changes broke something.
And since esspressif is doing their own thing… until they settle down and the Blynk devs have the time, I guess this ESP32 BLE Beta is stuck in limbo.
But people made it work:
Maybe Iphone better…
But what core version used… what other differences?? You need to ask them, there, not us, here, for that.
<Crash>… sorry, I had to pick myself off the floor from laughing so hard… Shinier… perhaps in some cases. More costly… yup. But better… matter of choice (guess mine 
)
That said, I did try my only iPhone (an old 4s just for this purpose) and lo and behold… my vLED actually blinked in the App… for about the same amount of time as my Android said it was working… then the iPhone disconnected just like on the Android.
But the 2nd time it stayed connected a little longer so I could run some other Blynk functions… then about 20 seconds later…

Rebooting...
so… Score 1/2 for Apple
Third time’s a charm on the iPhone… running a stepper motor, flashing a timed vLED and running Blynk Debug… got about 1-2 minutes use before disconnection. But at least no ESP32 crash.
So something is flaky, and I still agree that the suspect is the ESP core. But then I am not a developer so I will leave it as is for the moment.
Blynk version 2.27.1
Arduino IDE 1.8.8
Blynk library release v0.5.4
still getting this … What’s the problem?
