Hey,
I'm new at connect IQ , hope this is the place to ask this kind of question.
I want to to be able to send data from my ios app to my fenix 3 watch.
But i am stuck at the beginning - I am not able to receive all the connected IQDevices.
I did exactly as the "ConnectIQ IOS SDK. pdf" said, i have created a url for my app (I know it works as i tested it by typing it in the safari), when i call "[[ConnectIQ sharedInstance] showConnectIQDeviceSelection];" it goes to the "Connect" app but it never returns to my app .

Can anyone help me or point to me what i am doing wrong?
Thank you!

    I have the exact same problem. I just created a new companion app on iOS8.4 and a VivoActive, I followed exactly all the steps listed in the documentations. I tried to compare my application with the ExampleApp provided with the SDK (which works) but I cannot see any differences. This is very frustrating.
    Could you please help?

  • Apologies for not responding to this thread sooner. We missed seeing this question because it was posted to our general Garmin developer forum, and we have a separate Connect IQ developer forum that we typically keep a close eye on. The fault is ours, though, so I don't mean to place the blame on you! :) We'll have to do a better job of patrolling the general developer forum.

    This issue is something that was brought to our attention last week, and our app development team has been looking into it. We have more people involved in the investigation now, because the source of the issue isn't entirely clear. For example, there are a few pieces involved, including Connect IQ, the iOS Mobile SDK, and Garmin Connect Mobile. We're pursuing all avenues until we identify the root cause.

    So, the good news is that we know about the problem. The bad news, for the moment, is that we still aren't certain what's causing the problem. We'll post updates here once we know more.

    Solution

    Hi guys,

    just set a Bundle Display Name inside your Xcode project settings. This should fix it.

    Happy coding,

    Thank You So Much!!
    Just to be clear :
    You go to Target - > info, add a key "Bundle display name" string value "" (whatever you like..)
  • Crisis averted! Thanks to philipmode (one of Garmin's app developers) for getting to the bottom of this. We'll make sure to update the documentation with the mobile SDK to include this little tidbit.

    Thank you phlipmode!!
    Could the Garmin guys add that to their documentation please? That would save us some time :)
