is it possible to AutoStart a Device App on a Garmin VA4 ?

Hello,

we have a device App with our own screen and functions. When the App is started manually it all works the way we want - problem is when the watch OS is rebooting after power off or when the watch was powered off. Then the device App is not started again.

We need some Autostart function / or a folder where we can copy our watch App - where the watch OS is starting the App automatically.

Possible ?

Not Possible. They only thing that can really Auto is a watch face. The background service of apps will run, but the best you can do is ask the use if they want to go to the main app, and that could take up to 5 minutes.

is it possible to make the Watch-Face somehow start the device App ?

No, not possible. Also with a device app, it's very likely that you burn up the battery much faster, even if the device app is manually started
