Hi,
Following the latest version of SES (v6.30) on macOS (could also be relevant on linux and windows machines) a critical error has been found.
Building the project with any Release mode optimizations levels casues a crash on the BLE stack (random methods).
nrf5-SDK v17.1.0 - ble_blinky example project, in Debug mode runs and works fine, release mode crashes instantly.
You might also need to add the missing RETARGET_ENABLED=1 to the project preprocessor definitions
