That's expected, the ESP-IDF doesn't have functions to support BLE pairing yet.

Well you can't pair yet - but also for the BLE_adv demo you don't need to, that's just Bluetooth advertisements (in other words broadcasts).

You can set adv_data in the example to the data you want to send, for example:

uint8_t adv_data[31]={0x02,0x01,0x06, 0x1A,0xFF,0x4C,0x00,0x02,0x15,0x71,0x3d,0x00,0x00,0x50,0x3e,0x4c,0x75,0xba,0x94,0x31,0x48,0xf1,0x8d,0x94,0x1e,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0xC5};

will emulate an iBeacon with UUID 713d0000503e4c75ba943148f18d941e major 0 and minor 0. Then you can use an iBeacon scanning app on your phone to detect this.

There are other beacon formats, for example Eddystone.

Don't try to pair, just use nrf connect app or similar

What are you expecting to happen by connecting your phone to the esp32 over Bluetooth LE?

There's nothing running there by default to offer any kind of service, it's just doing exactly what you told it to - broadcast advertising packets - nothing more.

If you want to connect with your phone and se some sample values try the gatt_server example and then use the nRF app.

I am expecting that if esp32 and my mobile device connected means it should be bonded.... as per my knowledge.

so If any notification arrived on mobile i can show on board using led blinking.. for that esp32 and mobiledevice must be connected or i can say bonded.
