Does Garmin Express/Connect Mobile Support the new settings feature in SDK 1.2 yet?

As per title, has Garmin Express and Garmin Connect Mobile been updated to support the new user settings features in SDK 1.2.0? I just side-loaded a test widget on my watch and can't see any options to change the settings in Garmin Connect Mobile, yet it works in the simulator using the App Settings Editor....

Thanks,
Jason

    Since SDK 1.2.0 is still only beta and you cannot upload your 1.2.0 apps on the Store, there is currently Eclipse plugin only possibility to test user configurations. Side-loaded apps cannot be configured via GCM or GE at all. Settings will be available only for apps downloaded from CIQ Store. New GCM and GE versions will arrive later this month.

    This will make testing challenging. In particular when others side load and test an app.

    It sounds like at least now, you cant use "user settings" in a side loaded app. If you use eclipse, when you test something with user settings, you'll see a new ".json" file in the bin directory. After looking at it, I'd guess that file is used by GCM and GE to do the user settings, and the way that gets there, is by way of the app store.

    Maybe there will be a way to use that .json for sideloaded stuff, or maybe there will be a "beta" category of stuff added to the app store, where a developer can restrict access...

    Remember, 1.2.0 is still a beta release!

    Are those versions already available? How to figure it out?
