How do you build the IQ package in VS?

CTRL/CMD-SHIFT-P > Monkey C: Export Project

Also, how do you change the app settings in VS?

In the simulator: File > Edit Persistent Storage > Edit Application.Properties Data

or

CTRL/CMD-P

BTW, if any Garmin employees or moderators are reading this, I couldn't post the previous reply until I changed ">" characters to "," characters.

I don't even see the point of filing a bug report because:

- There's no official forum for forum bug reports

- The answer is always "It's a problem in the forum platform which belongs to someone else" and it never gets fixed

Overall, the forum has had a bunch of issues the last couple days with posting things, and sometimes resulting in double posts.  I'm thinking something got "updated" over the holiday weekend.

And of course, now those "failed" posts have appeared....

I'm starting to see why there's been so many duplicate posts recently.

One thing to note is the 4.1.0-beta1 SDK doesn't allow building an iq file (it's a beta SDK), so devs want to use 4.06 or 4.07 right now.

Export Project created a bunch of files in a temp directory (one per device) but did not produce the iq file.

It also took 2:45 minutes (much, much slower than it used to).

I don't know why you're not getting an IQ file, but I use OpenJDK 11 (currently, 11.0.13+8) and I don't have any problems with export speed (unless I export to a slow medium, like an old USB stick, because the temp dir is created in the export location).

Some who use JRE 1.8 have suggested reverting to an older version of 1.8 (the latest apparently has speed issues with the Monkey C compiler), but I personally wouldn't want to put my system at risk just to have fast Monkey C compiles.

Have you tried exporting a test project with just 1 or 2 devices?

I used the OpenJDK 17 version and that worked as expected.

Thanks.
