Unable to run multiple apps using Connect IQ Build for Device Wizard - only last app loads on watch.

Hello - I am developing several apps & would like to run them in tandem on the watches (testing on both Fenix 5x & Forerunner 235). I use the Connect IQ Build on Device Wizard to generate the PRG & copy it to the <watch>GARMIN/APPS directory where both apps show in the directory listing. I use the same developer key but have generated a different App UUID in the manifest.xml using the "Generate" button in the manifest editor. However, when I scroll through the available activities/apps on the watch, only the last app built/transferred is visible. Both apps show & run properly if the other app is not present. I also have the "Comm" sample app loaded - it is visible & runs properly regardless. Is there another field that needs to be different bewteen my 2 apps for them to all run? Please let me know if any additional info would be helpful. Tools versions are appended below. Thanks, Matthew

It sure sounds like you're using the same APPID for different things. When you generate a new one, are you sure you're saving manifest.xml and that's the one being used?

And each app is using a different manifest.xml?

Hi - Appreciate the reply. I expanded the collection to 4 apps (not the final structure but for demo purposes). I carefully updated each individual manifest with a unique App UUID - viola! 4 distinct apps are now available. Thanks, Matthew
