How to update the "user-directory" of connect iq?

When I installed the SDK in 2019, a user-directory "connectiq" was made on my iMac containing things like, inter alia, ProgrammersGuide.html, Toxbox.html and a samples directory.

This is now a bit outdated and I would like to update it. I think I updated my SDK, I also have the SdkManager now, but how can I update that user directory?

Many thanks.

Thank you that was extremely helpful. I was looking in /Library (from root) as Jim suggested, but everything is in fact in the Library folder of my user-id (~/Library).

With 3.2, the SDK and Devices are in a fixed location when downloaded with the SDK Manager. I forget what it is on the mac, but on windows it's \users\(you)\AppData\roaming\garmin\connectiq and there is Devices and Sdks under that.

For a mac, it appears to be

/Library/Application Support/Garmin/ConnectIQ with Devices and Sdks under that.

Thanks.

I searched a bit (under /Library/Application Support there is no "Garmin"), but I did not find another directory but my "connectiq" directory on my desktop. Anyway, I copied the newest reference guides from the garmin SDK site to that directory manually. I'm happy now.

If you're using VS Code, what happens if you select:

CMD-SHIFT-P > Monkey C > API Docs

Does a browser open with the API docs? If so, the url should point to the location of the current SDK folder on your hard drive (which is a subfolder of the ConnectIQ folder).

If you're using Eclipse, what happens if you select:

App Menu > Connect IQ > Samples

Does a Finder window open in the Samples folder of the current SDK?

(Either way I think it should be a lot easier to open the Connect IQ folder and the latest SDK folder.)
