Watchface does not load

Hey y'all,

I need some help. I created a watchface for some of the FR products. When I run it in the simulator, it works fine. However, when downloaded from the Connect IQ store onto my watch, my watch tries really hard to load it and, after flashing the watchface shortly in the display, it shows the default watchface.

Anyone familiar with this? Any ideas how to resolve it?

Sounds like your watchface may be crashing - flashes and then goes back to default. Create "ciq_log.txt" in \garmin\apps\logs on your watch, and see what it tells you.

Does it work OK when sideloading? (you want to try that before putting it in the store) Did you remove the sideload before installing from the store?

With a side load, you can also have <myappname>.txt in the logs directory, and track down problems using Sys.println() calls.

It happens because you do not delete dev version of your app and the one from IQ store has the same name, hence it fails to load an old one. You need to go to watch faces and select you watch face again. Or delete dev app before you install it from the store.

Actually apps from the store gets an app store generated file name (8 chars long of numbers and letters), but the manifest ID and other things are the same in the .prg files
