IOS Bluetooth Connection

It used to be that I could only make a Bluetooth connection between my iPhone and Bangle.js 2 by using WebBLE first. If I tried to connect via WebBLE, my iPhone would ask me if I wanted to allow the Bangle to receive notifications, etc. Everything would work fine, except that if I wanted to use WebBLE again after disconnecting, I would need to tell my iPhone to forget the Bangle in Bluetooth settings, and then start over. Not ideal, but it worked.

Today I upgraded my Bangle firmware to 12. Now I can ONLY connect via WebBLE. While I am connected via WebBLE, I can’t get IOS notifications (one connection at a time, I know). But when I disconnect WebBLE, IOS no longer stays connected, and I can’t see how to initiate a new connection with IOS, so notifications work, etc.

Any suggestions for how to pair IOS when I am not using WebBLE?

Thanks,
Dave

Maybe uninstall and reinstall the 'iOS' app on the Bangle? It's the iOS app that enables everything needed to to make the iPhone want to keep a connection open to Bangle.js, so it's possible that somewhere along the upgrade process that got disabled somehow?

The uninstall and reinstall of just the iOS app didn’t work. But uninstalling everything, and reinstalling, did work. Thanks for your help.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
