Testing on Device before Publishing

Hi,

Sorry Newbie here :-) so apologies if this quesiton has been asked before.

I've just started to develop for the Garmin IQ Platform, and would like to test on my vivoactive before publishing. Is this possible, if so how?

Thanks
Chris

    The way to do this is to "side load" to your watch. Basically, you just copy the .prg file to the \garmin\apps directory on your vivoactive, when it's in the charging base and connected to your computer

    See "SIDE LOADING AN APP" in the "Monkey C Programmer's Guide" that comes as part of the SDK for an example. (page 16 in the 1.1.4 version of the document)
