If you are using SDK version 10 or greater you have to use APP_TIMER_DEF(). If you look at the definition you will see that it creates two variables, not only one. The "hidden" variable is internal and you need not think about it when using the application timer API.

typedef app_timer_t * app_timer_id_t Timer ID type. Never declare a variable of this type, but use the macro APP_TIMER_DEF instead.

Why should i not declare a variable of this type??? Where as APP_TIMER_DEF is doing the same thing???

May be i understood it wrong. Please correct me

When using app_timer you can read the counter value of RTC1 using app_timer_cnt_get(). This simply gives you the register value, as it returns NRF_RTC1->COUNTER.
