Need some help

Former Member over 4 years ago

I need answers of few question about watch face and App.

a- Do we need to show clock to get it approved at the garmin?
b- What is the precise and fool-proof mechanism to load the data on watch face. ETA and additional costing on that?
c- Fenix watches don't support touch haptics. Those are operatables via physical buttons. Is our watch app compatible with it so to load different views via button toggling?
d- Once we have the watch face app built up, how easy/hard would it be to attach/making it compatible with the garmin watch face configurator? So user can add device's hardware feeds and see it directly in app such as heart rate, gyro, weather etc.

How much time have you spend going through the CIQ documentation, looking at the samples in the SDK, and trying to do a "New Project" with the included templates?

I am working from past 10-12 days on a watch face and watch App related to Crypto statistics.

He's the details on getting an app approved in the store: https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/app-review-guidelines/

The basics of background services - you need this in a watch face to get data from the internet: https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/connect-iq-faq/how-do-i-create-a-connect-iq-background-service/#howdoicreateaconnectiqbackgroundservice

See the Object Store sample in the SDK for app settings.

watch faces do not have support for ANY user input.

If you need user input via touch or buttons you need to create a watch app or widget.
