Why isn't possible to create a widget for Garmin Swim 2?

Former Member over 3 years ago

I downloaded garmin developer tools to create a simple google tasks widget for my garmin swim 2 but when i try to create a widget project in Eclipse, i can't select Garmin Swim 2 as a compatible device. Am i doing something wrong?

As far as CIQ goes, Garmin Swim 2 only supports watchfaces.

You can see what app types each device supports by navigating to the device library and opening compiler.json for a given device.

For your watch, the relevant file is located at...

- (Windows) %APPDATA%\Garmin\ConnectIQ\Devices\garminswim2\compiler.json

- (Mac) ~/Library/Application Support/Garmin/ConnectIQ/Devices/garminswim2/compiler.json

...
    "appTypes": [
        {
            "memoryLimit": 49152,
            "type": "watchFace"
        }
    ],

Swim2 and fr45 only support watch faces. See https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/compatible-devices/. There's an icon for what app types are supportrd on each device.
