I’m doing some experiments with Blynk and an ESP8266_01 board, I have compiled ESP8266_Standalone example without errors, but if I try to compile ESP8266_Standalone_SSL, compilation ends with a series of errors. Same examples compile without errors on Arduino IDE.
This is the error, I can not figure out where the problem is.

I might say for the sake of completeness that I first open this topic on Blynk support forum, @vshymanskyy was the one who advised me to try Arduino IDE to check if the library was working on other IDE, and since it works I thought it was a PlatformIO issue.
It seems that you installed some conflicted Time library in global storage. Please navigate to PlatformIO IDE > PIO Home > Libraries > Instaled and remove it.
Removing Time library allow to compile ESP8266_Standalone_SSL example, so I have done other tests, in my project I’m using WidgetRTC from blynk library, this component require TimeLib.h, compiling the RTC.ino example result in success using this library but RTC example use BlynkSimpleEthernet not BlynkSimpleEsp8266_SSL. If you change the example to use BlynkSimpleEsp8266_SSL with exact the same library the error reappear.
As the last test I compiled the example RTC.ino modified with wifi includes on Arduino IDE and the compilation ends successfully. The same code does not seem to compile on platformIO.
This is the code I used to test the issue, the same TimeLib 1.5 was used on both IDE.

*************************************************************
Blynk can provide your device with time data, like an RTC.
Please note that the accuracy of this method is up to several seconds.
App project setup:
RTC widget (no pin required)
Value Display widget on V1
Value Display widget on V2
WARNING :
For this example you'll need Time keeping library:

This code is based on an example from the Time library:

Yes, renaming all occurrence of Time.h with _Time.h I’m able to compile RTC example with SSL, I can use this workaround for my project but we need a more stable solution, I see you have closed issue #909, but seems to me that the issue still exists.
