November Treats from Connect IQ

Happy November! We have many updates across Connect IQ we are excited to share.

Connect IQ SDK 6.4

The new Connect IQ SDK 6.4.0 and Monkey C Visual Studio Code extension 1.0.10 are now available. By popular demand, we've added a manifest editor into the Visual Studio Code extension. The manifest editor provides a user interface to edit all aspects of the manifest.xml file. We have also added a new Test Explorer that provides a powerful user interface for executing unit tests on your application.
