Hi, I’m trying to perform UWB ranging between an iPhone and a Qorvo DWM3001CDK accessory using Apple NI’s NINearbyAccessoryConfiguration class. I’ve followed the steps described in the official Apple documentation (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/nearbyinteraction/ninearbyaccessoryconfiguration), specifically for enabling background mode using the init(accessoryData:bluetoothPeerIdentifier:) initializer. The configuration is successfully created, and background mode is enabled. However, when the iPhone starts the session, I doesn’t receive any ranging data from the DWM3001CDK, and the session ends with a timeout. Interestingly, if I use the init(data:) initializer, I can successfully receive ranging data, but this only works in foreground mode, which doesn’t meet my requirements. Steps I’ve followed: Used Core Bluetooth to discover and pair the accessory. Retrieved the configuration data from the accessory according to the third-party UWB device specifications. Initialized the configuration using NINearbyAccessoryConfiguration(accessoryData:bluetoothPeerIdentifier:) for background mode. Started the session with NISession.run(configuration). Waited for updates in the delegate method session(_:didUpdate:). Specific questions: Are there additional requirements for using init(accessoryData:bluetoothPeerIdentifier:) to enable background UWB ranging with the DWM3001CDK? Is there a known difference in how init(data:) and init(accessoryData:bluetoothPeerIdentifier:) handle the ranging process? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, I’m having trouble getting my iPhone 11 to detect a DWM3001CDK as an accessory using the Apple Nearby Interaction app. Here’s the background: Two years ago, I successfully tested UWB ranging between the same devices (iPhone 11 and DWM3001CDK, which is based on the Qorvo DW3110 IC and an nRF52833 SoC with Bluetooth 5.2). At that time, the Nearby Interaction app was in beta and worked well for my tests. Now, with the stable version of the app, I’m encountering an issue. Here’s what I’ve done so far: I erased the DWM3001C and flashed it with the Qorvo Nearby Interaction firmware (v3.2.0, "DWM3001CDK-QANI-FreeRTOS_full_QNI_3_0_0.hex") using J-Flash Lite V7.86g on Windows. With this configuration, I can connect the iPhone 11 to the accessory using the Qorvo NI apps, both in the foreground and background. However, when I compile and run the project "ImplementingSpatialInteractionsWithThirdPartyAccessories" (available on the Apple Developer website) on my iPhone 11 (running iOS 17.7), the app remains stuck on the "Scanning for accessory" screen and doesn’t find the device, even though I’ve given the app permission to use Bluetooth. Could this be due to an issue with the firmware I flashed on the DWM3001CDK, or might there be something else causing the problem? Any help or insights would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.
