Thanks for the input @RK. Yea at this point I don't want to move backwards with the SDK and/or SoftDevice in my project, so I really can't include the HK libraries if there are breaking changes with SDK 11.0.0 and/or SoftDevice 2.0.0-7 alpha, which does indeed seem to be the case.

Hopefully you're correct that a new HK SDK will be released soon!

You were trying to change SDK as well as softdevice and mix and match that with the HK libraries, I think that's just world of hurt territory, not surprised it didn't work. I see S130 and S132 v2 non alpha just got released so .. I'm going to be hopeful we're getting close to the next HK SDK release.

Good point - this issue may not be a SoftDevice incompatibility at all, but rather an SDK incompatibility (the HomeKit SDK is using the nRF52 SDK 0.9.2, rather than the latest nRF5 SDK 11.0.0).

I don't know - one of the things I now have to do now I'm using homekit is use app_timers instead of my own library, which is a bit of a nuisance. But if there's an app_timer difference it's in the SDK, nothing to do with the softdevice API at all.

OK thanks for the reply - I'll file a support request for all further questions.

Ah, maybe that's the problem - if it's using a timer, with the older SoftDevice API could simply declare a static variable of app_timer_id_t and then call app_timer_create() to create the timer; the newer API requires you to use APP_TIMER_DEF() macro to declare the timer first before creating it.

The current version (2.1.0) of our SDK for homekit is not tested with the latest alpha softdevice releases. So I don't know if this will work, however the big increase in the softdevice version number from 1 to 2 means there is api changes so I don't think the hap library would works just like that.

A new sdk for homekit version will be released some time after the first production version of the softdevice and SDK is released.

Note that Homekit is under the MFI program and thus support request should be issued in our private support system, mypage.

I wouldn't expect gattdb_init() to fail, all that does is zero out the structure and init app_timer. I would however expect lots of other things to fail dismally with S132v2.
