treewide: Remove nRF Cloud REST by pascal-nordic · Pull Request #28522 · nrfconnect/sdk-nrf

pascal-nordic · 2026-05-05T09:17:16Z

Description

The nRF Cloud REST library and its samples were deprecated before NCS version 3.2 and should not remain in version 3.4 LTS, as it is not a protocol we recommend and do not intend to support for our users in the long term. Samples that used this library have been replaced by CoAP, as our long-term strategy is to encourage users to use CoAP over MQTT.

Pull request overview

This pull request removes the deprecated nRF Cloud REST transport from the nRF Cloud libraries and treewide references, migrating remaining functionality to CoAP/MQTT and deleting REST-only samples and documentation.

Changes:

Removed the nRF Cloud REST Kconfig/module sources and REST-based logging/codec support paths.
Updated location/GNSS/modem_shell codepaths, tests, and configs to use nRF Cloud CoAP APIs instead of REST.
Deleted REST samples and updated documentation/release notes to reflect REST removal.

This documentation now references :ref:lib_nrf_cloud_mqtt`` and points to source files under subsys/net/lib/nrf_cloud/src/, but there is no `lib_nrf_cloud_mqtt` label and the `src/` path does not exist (code is under `common/`, `mqtt/`, `coap/`). Update the dependency reference(s) and source file paths to valid targets to avoid broken Sphinx refs and incorrect file locations.

This library uses the following |NCS| libraries:

* :ref:`lib_nrf_cloud`
* :ref:`lib_nrf_cloud_mqtt`
* :ref:`lib_nrf_cloud_coap`
* :ref:`lib_date_time`

A few more tiny fixes and we are there.

modem_shell, gnss and location samples, and the location library look good to me.

@moksanen FYI, REST support is being removed from our samples.

The CBOR codec unit-test PR (nrfconnect#27892) and the REST removal PR (nrfconnect#28522) were merged independently and produced a semantic conflict that left net.lib.nrf_cloud.codec.cbor failing to build on main: * The test referenced REST types (nrf_cloud_rest_agnss_request, nrf_cloud_rest_pgps_request, nrf_cloud_rest_agnss_result, NRF_CLOUD_REST_AGNSS_REQ_*, nrf_cloud_rest_fota_execution_decode) that were renamed to their nrf_cloud_coap_* counterparts by the REST removal. * The REST removal made coap_codec.h transitively pull in net/nrf_cloud_coap.h. Its CoAP-disabled fallback redefined enum coap_content_format, conflicting with zephyr/net/coap.h that the test (and the codec source) include directly. * struct nrf_cloud_coap_pgps_request was gated on CONFIG_NRF_CLOUD_COAP in net/nrf_cloud_pgps.h, so building any codec consumer with PGPS but without COAP left the struct undeclared. Fixes applied: * Rename REST types in the test sources to their nrf_cloud_coap_* equivalents. * In nrf_cloud_coap.h, include zephyr/net/coap.h unconditionally so enum coap_content_format always comes from the canonical Zephyr header. Only zephyr/net/coap_client.h stays gated on CONFIG_NRF_CLOUD_COAP since it requires CONFIG_COAP_CLIENT_*. * In nrf_cloud_pgps.h, define struct nrf_cloud_coap_pgps_request unconditionally - it is a pure data carrier and does not require any CoAP machinery. Verified: net.lib.nrf_cloud.codec.cbor and net.lib.nrf_cloud.codec.json both pass on native_sim and qemu_cortex_m3 (266/266 test cases).
