Old post, but I met the same issue, and the responses provided here weren't enough.
So to resolve this issue don't forget to point the "ble_advertising.C" through Project manager (on SES).

I had the same problem today. BLE_ADVERTISING_ENABLED was properly defined to 1 in sdk_config.h, the cause of the problem was not including nrf_sdh_ble.h in my source file.
The confusion here is that BLE_ADVERTISING_DEF is defined in the ble_advertising.h header file and one would think that including this one is enough for BLE_ADVERTISING_DEF to work. However that is not the case, you also need to include nrf_sdh_ble.h in your source file (ble_advertising.h does not include it, despite using NRF_SDH_BLE_OBSERVER macro defined there).

Hi!

Have you made sure that the advertising module is enabled in the sdk_config.h file?

Best regards,
Joakim.

Still looking for an answer.

Maybe it is possible to use the advertiser without an instance?
