BLE is not detecting in Chrome browser


I am trying to connect my Android application with web via Bluetooth. But Chrome browser is not detecting my Bluetooth enabled smartphone. I am using Google-FIDO2-Android API.

I am working on Chrome Browser 74.0.3729.157 (64-bit), Nexus Phone, MacBook Pro (Mojave-10.14.5).

How can I proceed on this?


Solution

    1. Open Chrome
    2. Go to chrome://flags/
    3. search by Web Authentication API BLE support
    4. Change to Enabled

    This helps you to enable bluetooth communication for Webauthn. They said this flag will be enabled by default in the future. Let's see.

    If it doesn't work, it should be your authenticator problem. And you should figure out where is the error and post here to get help.
