Don't see custom IQ data fields in Garmin Connect (web and mobile)

Maybe the question was repeated earlier, but my English is bad, sorry. I have created several IQ fields to write to the fit file. I see that the data is actually being written to the fit file using FitToCSV. Uploaded my data field to Connect IQ Store as beta, installed it in watch. However, after that, I still do not see the graphs of the new IQ fields either in the web interface or in the andpoid app. I download the fit file from this activity, check the FitToCSV data availability - they are. What am I doing wrong? I dont see icons with my application (data field) in activity also

Uninstall your sideloads, and make sure that waht's in the store installed.

Also, have you looked that the data with MonkeyGraph to make sure you've defined how/what to display properly?

Yes, datafield (application) installed from store, checked twice. MonkeyGraph can't load my datafield (application) just say "Could not open IQ file ****.iq". I don't understand why, created it with Export Wizard withjout any errors. Maybe I should to specify my fields additionally in the manifest, xml, resources for visibility?

It's the iq file you created to sent to the app store. It contains the info on how to use the fit contrib data you added.

Get it to work with moneygraph, as it's likely something in the xml for fit contrib.

Okay, I'll try. But I don't even know where to start, a pointless message "Could not open IQ file", no reason given, is killing me.

When you created an export for the store, that creates the .iq file. If you lost it, just do another export and see where the iq file is created.

I did not lose anything and read yours link many times :( I have maked the .qi file dozens of times, I know the contents of the xml file by heart, but MonkeyGraph always reports the same "Could not open IQ file ****.iq". He accepts the file .fit silently, but it gives me nothing

You select a .fit along with a .iq file.

You need an xml file with this tag to indicate how fit contrib data is displayed.

and that ends up as a json file in your .iq.

xml code in attachmet. Project don't have json file

You're looking at the manifest.xml, but there are other xml files in your project, for resources, etc. Fitcontrib data is often it's own xml file under resources.

see something like this:
