ESP32 with BLE: the Android app doesn't find the esp32 device

Yes…ish… Things keep changing with ESP32, so hard to say the current state of this topic…

And you probably need to use the Beta version of the App for better BT/BLE support.

As with anything curent with Blynk and BT/BLE, the App still needs connectivity to the Server (typically via WiFi/cell), and some Server linked Widgets do not work via the App link alone. thus with an ESP32 already having WiFi, it almost becomes a case of “Because it can…ish” rather than a need to use BLE
