As you probably know, Blynk is an App for iOS and Android, that allows you to drag-and-drop widgets right on your smartphone,
and use it to control/monitor things around you.

I've just rolled out a big update to the embedded library, that includes cool features for ESP32/ESP8266.

Hope you like it!
What's included in this release?
  • Hardware support:
    • ESP32
      • Bluetooth LE initial support + example
      • SSL (secure connection) support + example
      • App Export example for ESP32 (with WiFi credentials provisioning)
    • ESP8266
      • SSL stability improvement (still not perfect due to a bug in ESP Core)
      • SSL now checks certificate chain (previously fingerprint was used). Needs 2.4.0-rc2
