fr245 in simulator doesn't call getGlanceView()

Testing a widget on several models in the simulator and found this on the fr245 and fr245m:

deviceSettings has isGlanceModeEnabled: true

deviceSettings.isGlanceModeEnabled: true

According to https://support.garmin.com/en-GB/?faq=Eg6DSXgpma697JGZZnhYc6 these models support glances, but the simulator doesn't call getGlanceView().

Is this a bug in the simulator, the real watches, both, or my code?

Thanks

I don't think glaces were in production FW on the 245/945 when the 3.1.8 SDK was released, so it doesn't have support. You can test with the f6 series in the sim.

I'm able to use glances on a real 245 just fine, though they doesn't show in the sim.

So you're saying the simulator is borked, because it says glance is enabled but doesn't bother calling the glance view, but the real watch works fine?

Thanks

Not "borked", it's just I think that 3.1.8 came out before there was glance support on the 245/945. The next SDK will resolve that.

IMO, if the simulator returns true for ((deviceSettings has :isGlanceModeEnabled) && (deviceSettings.isGlanceModeEnabled)) and glance views aren't shown for that device, the simulator is indeed borked.

That said, we found this issue after the 3.1.8 release went out and fixed it then. This should not be a problem for the devices you mentioned for the next release.

Excellent news.
