Thank you very much Hung Bui, Your suggestion is clear and seems to be the only way to go. BTW, my application's SDK appears to have grown to 11k lines (with comments). Thanks

Hi Tilak,

We have a migration guide here that you can follow. It's not a very big change from SDK v16.0 to SDK v17.0.2 (and to SDK v17.1) as far as I can see.

Regarding the sdk_config.h, I am not aware of any modification needed. Did you base your application on an example ? If you do I would suggest to do a comparison between the sdk_config.h in SDK v16 and SDK v17 of the same example. From that you know what you need to add to your own sdk_config.h. I usually use the Compare tool in Notepadd++ application for the purpose.

For example here is some of the changes I can find when doing comparison in Notepad++:

I have seen the issue "sdk_config.h: "Unable to parse file" before it's usually due to invalid syntax in the sdk_config.h file, or sometime with a wrong end of line symbol. If you do a compare (to the example you based your sdk_config.h on )you can also find where the potential bug is.

Regarding the "Keeping the full configuration file should be helpful when migrating to new SDK versions." , my understanding is that if you keep the full configuration file, then when we migrate to new SDK you can use the same full sdk_config.h on the new SDK with minimum change. And even if there is any change , you can easily modify it if it's based on the same full sdk_config.h that we included in most of our examples via the compare tool.
