We are developing a new product that will be HomeKit compatible and have already registered as an MFI developer. We are struggling with the decision to either embed the MFI Auth Chip on our circuit board or to instead take the available Software Auth approach. One of our team members thought that for new products generally the first choice should be to use the chip but then another team member thought they heard the chips were somewhat scarse and that new products generally should take the Software Auth as first choice. Thoughts?
