ok, totally dumb question

I've exported the package after testing, how does one install it on the watch. I can't submit to the store due to image copyright etc etc. Oh talking about watch face, I have the *****.iq files done already. Any help is very appreciated.

    Use the "Build Project for Device" option under the "Connect IQ" menu and with your device plugged in to the computer, build it to the /Garmin/APPS directory.
  • If you use Build Project for Device it will build a debug version. If you use the App Export Wizard... option, you can get the release version.

    The .iq file that is generated is just a zip archive. If you change the file extension to .zip, you can open it up using the zip tool of your choice. Inside you should find a folder for each device that you enabled support for when configuring your project. You can determine which folder is for what device by looking at the part_number for each device in <SDK>/bin/devices.xml.

    Once you know what folder to look in, locate the appropriate .prg file and copy it to the GARMIN/APPS folder on the device.

    There's a checkbox in Build Project For Device to make a release build. No archive excavating required.
