CP Bluefruit not offering bluetooth connect to iphone
After re-reading and carefully checking all my steps, my phone cannot see Bluefruit from your app. Do I have a defective device? How can I troubleshoot?

Re: CP Bluefruit not offering bluetooth connect to iphone
That page explains how to install CircuitPython. After doing that, you'll need to add libraries and code to actually enable and use the bluetooth features.
Have you gone through the library install steps?

And then tried one of the specific BLE examples?

Re: CP Bluefruit not offering bluetooth connect to iphone
I had a similar problem connecting CP Bluefruit to my iPhone, and then realized I couldn't add the firmware to the device via the Finder in MacOS Ventura. When you attempt to use the Finder to copy the code to CP, you get an error message that the operation can't be completed. Apparently this is specific to Ventura and needs to be fixed in an update. Instead use Terminal program to copy the file over to the CP by using the following command after the $ in Terminal:
cp -X Downloads/cplay_ble_v5.ino.uf2 /Volumes/CPLAYBTBOOT/
(this command assumes the firmware file is in your Downloads folder)
This copied the file and I was able to then connect to the device using the Bluefruit Play app!
cp -X Downloads/cplay_ble_v5.ino.uf2 /Volumes/CPLAYBTBOOT/
(this command assumes the firmware file is in your Downloads folder)
This copied the file and I was able to then connect to the device using the Bluefruit Play app!

Re: CP Bluefruit not offering bluetooth connect to iphone
I'm having a similar problem. I got the Color Picker example (https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-cir ... lor-picker) working fine, but when I run the code from the ANCS Notifier (https://learn.adafruit.com/ancs-gizmo/overview), the Circuit Playground does not show up on the list of discoverable devices. Is there something different about the way it is doing the advertising?

@ehalstea Please start a new thread for your issue, since it sounds possibly ANCS specific.
