BLE registerProfile, is there a way to remove registered profiles from Garmin Watches?

Hello,

I'm new to BLE part of the API and don't see this anywhere in the forum or API documents. I see that 3 profiles can be registered, but how do I remove registered profiles?

Thank you.

Once registered, they remain registered until the app exits. Also, all services/characteristics you want to used must be defined in the CIQ BLE profile.

Are you not scanning between register and pair?

There are there until you exit the CIQ app. And the limit is 3 profiles at most. There are nordicthingy52 samples in the SDK.

There is a wiki about getting started with BLE. https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/w/wiki/19/getting-started-with-connect-iq-ble-development

And here's a blog post I did with a raspberry pi when this first came out: https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/b/news-announcements/posts/would-you-like-some-raspberry-pi-with-your-connect-iq

Thanks jim_m_58, I'm looking at the nordicthingy52 samples, but was curious about how registered profiles worked as I am modifying my app and assumed registering a profile would require unregistering/removing, similar to unpairing.

This brings me to another question, when I launch my app I do the following, registerProfile(), then pairDevice(). If I hit the back button and back all the way out of my app, I will need to registerProfile and pairDevice again when it's relaunched? Not just pairDevice? Is there a way to stay paired in this scenario?

Thank you!

Are you not scanning between register and pair? Do you have a scan result saved off?

And yes, registerProfile is only for the current run of your app.

jim_m_58 thanks for the quick responses! I do scan between register and pair; unintentionally left that part out of the steps mentioned above.
