# Garmin Connect IQ Support Ticket: Export Failure
## Issue Summary
Unable to export Connect IQ watch-app to `.iq` file format. Export fails with error: **"No exportable devices are supported by the project"** even though regular builds succeed.
## Error Message
```
ERROR: No exportable devices are supported by the project.
```
## System Information
- **OS:** macOS 26.2 (ARM64)
- **VS Code:** 1.107.1
- **Connect IQ SDK:** 8.1.0 (Build: 2025-03-04-7ae1ed1cb)
- **Also tested with:** SDK 8.4.0 - same issue
## Project Configuration
- **App Type:** watch-app
- **minApiLevel:** 5.0.0
- **Target Device:** venu2
- **Permissions:** Fit, Positioning, Sensor
- **Language:** en-US
**Manifest contains:**
```xml
<iq:product id="venu2"/>
```
## Build Status
**Regular Build:** SUCCESSFUL (creates .prg file)
**Export Build:** FAILS (cannot create .iq file)## Troubleshooting Attempted
1. Verified device ID `venu2` is valid (builds successfully)
2. Tested multiple SDK versions (8.1.0 and 8.4.0)
3. Tested with single device only (venu2)
4. Adjusted minApiLevel (tried 2.4.0, 3.0.0, 3.4.0, 5.0.0)
5. Verified VS Code SDK path configuration
6. Used VS Code "Monkey C: Edit Products" command
7. Reloaded VS Code multiple times
8. Tried both command-line and VS Code export methods
## Impact
**Critical:** Cannot submit app to Connect IQ Store without `.iq` file. Regular builds work fine for testing, but store submission requires `.iq` format.
## Notes
The build tool successfully recognizes and builds for `venu2`, but the export tool fails to recognize `venu2` as exportable. This suggests the export tool has different device validation logic than the build tool.
