Now Solved
I have a device that I’m trying to onbard to TTN - the device works successfully on Helium - so I thought it would just be a matter of changing the keys and away it would go on TTN. No such luck.
The device live data shows a MIC mismatch error, Yet the decoded packet from my TTN gateway shows the MIC matching. Any clues as to whats going on?
I’m using: https://lorawan-packet-decoder-0ta6puiniaut.runkit.sh/ to decode the packet from the gateway and using the AppKey as the AppSKey.
AppEUI and DevEUI all seem to match up (and are the correct endiness)
This is the Live Data from the Device page (MIC mismatch):

and this is the decoded packet from the Gateway (MIC match):
