Setting of Type "Dates" - Works for WF but not preserved in the Phone App

I have a date setting that works fine as a setting and the watchface reads this and behaves as expected

In Connect IQ on my Phone (iOS) it shows a date picker dialog.

When I save this in ConnectIQ app on my phone "Settings Succesfully Saved"

However if I hit the settings button again - the date is blank in the settings dialog and when I tap on the date field it defaults to today (regardless of what I just set as a date)

Why is this existing setting value not preserved in the Phone Connect IQ Setting dialog ?

I have seen some apps use date in text format DD-MM-YYYY rather than "Date" - is this why ?

Thanks

Hi mate,

Yes it is a well known issue from IPhone,

Everytime you entered the settings, you have to set again the date, I guess you re using connect IQ, try with connect, it seems to work better.

And yes it is why we often use a text files for That, due to thi issue and Sometime due to utc offset issue.

On some device the value returned is correct but on some others the value returned has utc offset.

I guess it up to how the Phone is set etc.
