How can a user find out which system level is on the device?

Do I well think that the system level is the first number of CIQ version?

My f6p has CIQ 3.2.8 - level 3? Venu 2 should have CIQ 4.x - level 4. Yes?

Is does mean that if some device has level X it support all level less than X, so if my f6p will get level 5 it means that will support createBufferedBitmap?

I can't still run fenix6prosystem5preview device

how to fix it?

Because it had an original intended purpose which ended up either being discarded or not implemented.

There was a forum comment about this from a Garmin employee (Travis), a few years ago, but I don’t feel like looking for it rn.

You can see for yourself by building for another target twice, selecting a different API level each time — see if the command line or the build output is any different. Last time I checked, it wasn’t.

This to me is a push by Garmin to get devs to use VS Code instead of Eclipse.

I feel like it’s an oversight that they didn’t bother to correct (similar to the fact that the option still exists even though it doesn’t do anything), rather than an intentional push to move people off Eclipse, although anything’s possible.

A better example of an intentional push to get people off Eclipse would be the removal of the eclipse-specific CIQ documentation (which, ironically, many people interpreted as a mistake.)

I also wouldn’t be surprised if Garmin just has a policy not to bother fixing bugs related to eclipse, if they’re not considered too serious.

For me it looks bad. I understand, if something is not exposed, bug/error is unknown in build time, OK. But if somebody reports problem/bug it should be immediately fixed.

But the strangest is not fixing errors for years - so better is to remove functionality with bug (e.g. :context in makeWebRequest) - it doesn't run at all so nobody can use it. Even change documentation is better than do nothing.
It is a public forum, everybody can read it (developers, end users, competitors etc.) - how it looks for them? Answer is simple...
