What does this error mean "Failed to start CIQ Application"

Former Member
Former Member over 5 years ago

HI, 

I have a Widget app in the app store, its working great.

Now i am updating the functionality ( i am using Eclipse and the latest SDK)

When I try run the app using the  connect IQ Device simulator, i get these errors 

Error: Unexpected Type Error
Details: Failed to start CIQ Application
Stack:

Error: Unexpected Type Error
Details: Error starting music app
Stack:

The really interesting part is that if I generate a new UUID  the App run perfectly fine with no errors.  My problem is that the app is in the store and I need to use the existing UUID.
I dont understand the Error or know how to trace it.

note: i am very new to development so any help/advice will be appreciated.

    What device?  If this is a music app, does the device support music?

    Fenix5 and it does not support music.   

    but  I have tried targeting devices that do support music on the simulator and i get the same Error messages.. 

    but, as mentioned, if I do change the UUID , all works .. it's just very strange.

    thanks

    Does your manifest indicate a music app?  What happens if you sideload?

    Just doubled checked, Manifest has no reference to music.  listed as "type="widget"

    and a good idea, I will test the sideloading of the app this evening and see how that works  ..
    Will let you know how it goes 

    thanks

    Where did the UUID you originally used come from?  Did you generate it yourself, or did you start  with one from another app?

    good question and to be honest i cannot clearly remember.  Before I started this app, i was mess around learning the  format and monkey C,  think i started this app from some  sample code that comes with the SDK, but i have never tried playing with music ..  .

    but now that you mentioned this, i Copied the Faulty UUID to another and very different working test app , and the same errors happen.  

    now I am even more confused than ever.  could the UUID be corrupted in some way?

    That could be.  UUIDs are forever, even when you delete an app from the store.  if you don't have many downloads, you may just want to remove the app from the store, change to UUID, and upload it again.

    I had this problem yesterday.
    my watchface is recent, so no big deal. but it's a bit of a shame. and it must be strange for Garmin who sees an app again coming back to its initial publication.
    No other alternative ? I ask in case it happens again
    thanks to you for this discussion who explain my problem.

    I just encountered this today.  I saw these same errors on a Widget I was working on.  It was working fine, and then suddenly started giving these errors.  My widget does not use anything related to music.

    I solved it by going to File->Reset All App Data, and File->Delete All Apps.

    I assume something must have been corrupted that's associated with the UUID.  I hope this is helpful to others.
