Fenix3 watchface works in simulator but not on device

Former Member over 10 years ago

I've build a watchface for my fenix3 which runs OK in de sdk simulator, but when I copy the .prg to my device, it's shows a blank (white) screen. After a few seconds it will show the default digital watchface (fallback option?). The app is pretty much a copy of another watchface which runs fine (GF3240: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/f5d277e2-0ff3-45f2-9f83-8f398ff71f88).

Has anyone else run into this problem? Or is there a way to debug this?

Note: all the firmware versions are up-to-date; watchface is build with sdk 1.1.1 on OSX

This post explains how to enable logging for ConnectIQ application crashes (stack trace gets written to CIQ_LOG.txt) and application tracing (Sys.print and Sys.println output appears in {APP_NAME}.txt). Instrument your code with Sys.println as you feel necessary, upload the instrumented version to your device, create the text files in the appropriate places, then run your application. After it crashes, look at the contents of the log files to get an idea of where the problem occurred.

Yep,

that did the trick. Found the error, now working on a nice solution :D
Some clarification: it was a language problem, the simulators default language is English, my watch has the Dutch language.

Thanx, TRAVIS.VITEK
