I have found some threads about this but never could get any of them to work. What am i doing wrong? I’ve tried several combos of this and can’t get anything to display bluetooth results that have names. I don’t want blank bluetooth devices to show.

The problem is that after some updates, errors stopped coming in the Bluetooth\_Low\_Energy element. In any case, the error variable has the value “undefined”. I have a working application, and everything used to work correctly. I do not know how to draw the attention of developers to this problem.

@rhino-led @gumoldova0nw After some additional investigating, there is likely a bug here causing these issues. We’re investigating now and will get back to you as soon as we learn more. Thank you for your patience.

Good morning guys, my app no ​​longer finds any BLE devices when I scan, I updated the block with the new one containing RSSIs but nothing changes. How can I solve this problem? . About 20 days ago I downloaded the APK from thunkable to test the app on an Android phone and if I use that the BLE scan is successful but the live test of thunkable is not.

Is there a way to contact billing? I paid for premium and am at a road block and can’t continue with the app until these bugs are fixed?

Thank you! The BLE scan function is working again. Could this issue arise again in the future? It’s a significant concern as I plan to proceed with this platform.

Thanks! It works in the debugging application. But I can’t download the APK and check it yet. I have already tried downloading twice this month because of this error.

Thank you for understanding, it’s nice.  
Everything works under ideal conditions.  
The colors in the “Switch” element have also started to display correctly.  
But some errors in error handling still remained.  
Previously, when a user tried to scan bluetooth WITH BT TURNED OFF, an error was returned in the “error” variable that could be handled.  
The same thing happened when geolocation was turned off.  
Now there is no such information in the “error” variable, only “undefined”.
