unable to change advertised name about esp32_ble_ota HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi,

I am glad you find my project useful!

Maybe your app is caching the old name?

You can set a device name programmatically using:
esp_ble_gap_set_device_name(const char *name);

from esp32_ble_ota.

I am calling ble_svc_gap_device_name_set() as you do in your project since the ble stack is Nimble. The api you mention seems to be the one for the bluedroid stack which does not seem available when NimBLE is selected in menuconfig.

Right, my bad.

Did you check if it is a problem with your BLE scanner?

good catch, I installed a BLE scanner on another device and the correct name is displayed. So there is very likely some caching going on with my dev machine since I initially tested with "esp32" as name. I will need to figure out how to clean the BLE cache on that machine.
Thanks!
