getApplicationInfo with simulator

I created test application to learn how to communicate between phone and watch. Uploaded it as test into store and installed on my physical device.
I installed same version of application on the simulator.

On my companion app I'm using connectIQ.registerForDeviceEvents(connectedDevice, deviceEventListener)
with both simulator and real device im getting status = CONNECTED so it seems both are working
However when im using connectIQ.getApplicationInfo(appId, device, listener)
Im getting app.status = INSTALLED with real device and app.status = UNKNOWN with simulator

It looks like when companion app is connected to simulator it can't recognize app id.
When installing app on simulator is app id somehow different from the one at store?

Is there any chance you could share you code that connects an android companion app with a watch? I'm trying to send accelerometer data over to my phone from the watch. Thanks!

https://pastebin.com/Bsz8h2af - it's quite a mess but communication was actually working back then when I used it. No idea if it stil work. Documentation was... hard to work with :D Sadly I dont have Watch part, but maybe this code will be somehow helpful to you :)

Awesome! Thanks for the help. Yeah, I would certainly say the documentation leaves something to be desired. I don't understand why, garmin is a fairly big company, doesn't seem like it would be so tough for them to invest a dev or two into some good documentation and example projects. Thanks again, I really appreciate the response and code.
