Having this issue... What should I do?
The sim automatically launches when you successfully build and run your app.
Are you getting that dialog when you run your app? I've found in the past that I've seen it every now and then (maybe only after installing a new SDK) and once I dismiss the dialog, I'm able to get things working normally. (I might have had to run the app again.)
In Eclipse, you can start the simulator on demand with Menu > Connect IQ > Start SImulator
You can also launch the sim manually.
1) Open %APPDATA%\Garmin\ConnectIQ\SDKs and navigate to the folder which matches your current SDK. (In your case it will be something like connectiq-sdk-win-4.0.4-2021-07-01-9df386fcd)
2) Open the bin folder and double-click connectiq.bat. (If you don't have Explorer configured to show file extensions, you'll see two files called connectiq. Double-click on the one with the "gears" icon.)
More generally:
1) Find the folder of your current SDK by opening the following file:
Windows: %APPDATA%\Garmin\ConnectIQ\current-sdk.cfg
MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Garmin/ConnectIQ/current-sdk.cfg
2) This will contain the path to your current SDK. e.g.
C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Garmin\ConnectIQ\Sdks\connectiq-sdk-win-4.0.4-2021-07-01-9df386fcd\
3) Under this folder, there is a folder containing binaries and a script to run the simulator:
Windows: bin\connectiq.bat
Mac/Linux: bin/connectiq
Or, as a one-liner in MacOS Terminal:
$(echo "~/Library/Application Support/Garmin/ConnectIQ/current-sdk.cfg")/bin/connectiq
