Hello Garmin Connect IQ Team,
I'm an independent Connect IQ developer publishing apps and watch faces under the name VALLRES.
I'm experiencing unusually long approval delays affecting several Halloween-themed watch faces.
Affected submissions:
Little Monster
- Submitted October 4, 2026, and still Pending.
- App ID: ad6e37d6-cca4-4186-94f3-cefb5fa1edca
Pumpkin Pal
- Originally submitted October 4, 2026.
- Resubmitted with a new app ID on October 11, but still Pending.
- App ID: 05cf4f30-cd15-49cb-96e6-6d1e8f4c3caf
Zombie – Animated Halloween Watch Face
- Previously approved and available in the Connect IQ Store.
- Returned to Pending after changing its price from free back to paid.
- App ID: 5d3105be-08ce-4566-9022-2feaea2d7287
These are seasonal Halloween products, so the delays are particularly concerning.
Additionally, an existing Zombie user has contacted me because they can no longer reinstall the watch face after switching to another one. This suggests the pending review is also affecting existing customers.
I contacted Garmin Developer Support but was directed to this forum for Connect IQ-related issues.
Could someone from the Connect IQ team please investigate these submissions and clarify whether there is a review backlog, a technical issue, or something affecting my developer account?
I would greatly appreciate any assistance or status update, especially with Halloween approaching.
Thank you for your time!
Best regards,
VALLRES
