The esp-idf-provisioning-android app can pair with esp32 c3 module and can not connect

[rlin1788]

We used the app and tried to pair and connect with an esp32 c3 module with the ble master exxample provided by the esp-idf. The app found device. When we tap the shown device name to connect, a pairing confirmation windows proped up. After we tap the pair, the app popped up a circle never went away, in a forever loop.

We tried to download the source code to build to see what happened but the code can not be built with a number of "reference files not found". Is the source supposed to built without errors?

This app is intended to be used with the wifi provisioning example or the new network provisioning examples, not any other BLE example. We understand that the app should atleast throw an error and exit, but it may anyways not work for you if you are trying something else with BLE.

Yes, of course, the sources are supposed to built without errors. If you can let us know how you tried to build and also share the error logs, we will be able to provide better info.

@shahpiyushv Thank you for the quick response. Enclosed please find the build errors.

At least, the app should be able to pair and connect with esp32 c3 module, right?

Hi @rlin1788 , please do git clone of this repo using below command.
git clone https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf-provisioning-android.git
There are errors for git command which we have used to get commit id and display app version. If the source code is downloaded directly, then you will face this git related error so need to comment those lines or just use above command and clone repo.

As mentioned earlier, it will pair and connect only if you are using Wi-Fi provisioning manager or the new Network Provisioning Manager in your code.
