Configuring Physical Web tokens? #826

Closed edent closed 8 years ago

edent commented 8 years ago

I notice that the latest release of the Android client doesn't allow people to configure Beacons any more.

How do I change the eddystone destination of the V2 beacon Google gave me?

cco3 commented 8 years ago

Use this tool: https://beaufortfrancois.github.io/sandbox/web-bluetooth/eddystone-url-config/index.html

You may need Chrome 53 and you will have to enable web bluetooth

edent commented 8 years ago

That works on Android Chrome! Many thanks.

Any reason why it isn't part of the app? Very confusing!

cco3 commented 8 years ago

The app is a place for us to try experimental features, and now that we have a primary configuration utility (the web tool) there's no need for a configuration feature in the prototype app.

I get that - and it's your app to do with as you please - but how was I supposed to find that link?

The documentation still shows configuring in app. If I hadn't read the changelog in Play Store, I'd have thought my tokens were broken.

Thats a good point, we should have updated the web page to remove that confusion.

@edent FYI http://cf.physical-web.org is the canonical URL

edent commented 8 years ago

@beaufortfrancois thanks! Is that linked or documented anywhere?

beaufortfrancois commented 8 years ago

Yes, you can see it in the "Configure beacons" section in https://google.github.io/physical-web/resources
