Hi i developed an app that using BLE with my ESP32. BLE scan works great with IOS with no problem.In android in live test it works perfect too but when i try to setup my app with apk file it became unstable. I mean in the first try it works perfect, scan, connect etc but when i try to use the app several times again it can’t scan and gives an error like; “BleError: _Cannot_ start _scanning operation_”.But after a time like 5-10 min it can connect again. I tried different versions of android and all make the same thing.
