RE: alert notification - field "category" shall have variable size

Hi,

Right you are. There's another optional 1 byte bitmask in the "alert_category", which we have not added to the profile. I'll report this internally as a feature-request.

And when you assign ANS client data during notification event you expect fixed size 1B:

p_alert->alert_category_count = p_notification->data[1];
//lint !e415

it might be actually bug because server might use 2B for "category" - thus offset for "count" can be 2. Right? I'm new to BLE so I'm not sure...

This shall point to the correct member of the struct. I'll classify this as an improvement internally.

Thanks for reporting this to us! It's highly appreciated that you help us improve the SDK.

Cheers, Håkon
