The perfect app for real makers

Rarely saw such an easy app to use to develop app in such a rapid way. Much better than Nordic, ST, or worst, TI.
Silabs rocks !

OTA not start

Unable to start OTA , keep loading without starting. Very disappointed !
intensively used the previous version Blue Gecko that was very robust for OTA
That’s not the case for this new release
OSOTA not start

Difficult to get file into the app

If you want to do an ota update then it is very hard to get a file into the app.

I would happily implement this for you if you give me access to the code
