I've already developed my watch face and test it on Garmin simulator.

I've some question?

1. How to deploy the watch face on my Fenix 3?

2. How to publish to Connect IQ?
  • 1. You can build the app for a device in Eclipse (Connect IQ menu > Build for Device Wizard), which will create a PRG file. This PRG can then be copied into the /GARMIN/APPS/ folder on the device.

    2. To publish to the store, read more here: http://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/how-to-publish/

  • Problem uploading my app to device

    I just created my first watch-face in eclipse.
    All works ok in simulator, but I have problem with uploading to device.
    I prepared .prg file using "build for device" wizard.
    Then I copy this file into GARMIN/APPS folder on the device and disconnects the device from PC.
    It shows "actualizing" progress bar for a while and jumps into standard watch.
    But when I check in setting, there is no my watch-face to choose. And if I now connect VA to the PC again, there is no my .prg file in the GARMIN/APPS folder.
    So I assume that it gets deleted when I disconnect VA from USB.
    What can be wrong?

    OK: I can see now error in the log: Signature check failed on file: BASICWF
    But don't know how to correct this...

    You need to use the 2.1.2 SDK, and generate a developer key. See the sticky thread at the top of this forum.
