Detailed Description

Apple Notification Center Service Client Module.

Disclaimer: This client implementation of the Apple Notification Center Service can and will be changed at any time by Nordic Semiconductor ASA.

Server implementations such as the ones found in iOS can be changed at any time by Apple and may cause this client implementation to stop working.

This module implements the Apple Notification Center Service (ANCS) client. This client can be used as a Notification Consumer (NC) that receives data notifications from a Notification Provider (NP). The NP is typically an iOS device acting as a server. For terminology and up-to-date specs, see http://developer.apple.com.

The term "notification" is used in two different meanings:

An iOS notification is the data received from the Notification Provider.
A GATTC notification is a way to transfer data with Bluetooth Smart. In this module, we receive iOS notifications using GATTC notifications. We use the full term (iOS notification or GATTC notification) where required.

Note: The application must propagate BLE stack events to this module by calling ble_ancs_c_on_ble_evt() from the SoftDevice Event Handler callback.
