Can iPhones and Android phones communicate over this Bluetooth Mesh API?

[ARone.1]

If I want my app running on iPhones and Android phones to communicate between phones via Bluetooth Mesh, does this library/API/framework enable that?

To be clear, I am not looking for a mobile phone to “control�?/communicate with devices like sensors or lights. I am looking for a bunch of phones running my app to all join a Bluetooth mesh network (no WiFi) and communicate among each other.

Will this technology enable that?

Hello @ARone.1​ ,

This is a good use case. Unfortunately this is not done natively currently due to missing PB-ADV in smartphones .

But this can be done through cloud ( using the Configuration database Management json) .

This can also be done using the Proxy nodes, where 1 Smartphone sends a custom message (vendor model) to a Proxy node and proxy node in return Publishes a message to another Smartphone 2 (in range) or a Group(Subscription) of which both Proxy node and Smartphone 2 is a part of.
