Trying to use new group feature in settings

I was attempting to add the group feature in app settings to an existing app. But whenever i do i get the compilation error below. It seems like it is expecting to see another <setting> and doesn't recognize the <group>. As can be seen i am using the latest 4.0.8 sdk. Is there something else I'm missing to start using group.

Which SDK are you using?

And to use this feature, you need the 4.1.x resource compiler, correct?

It's a system 5 thing. https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/b/news-announcements/posts/welcome-to-connect-iq-system-5

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like Garmin hasn't explicitly spelled out that (afaik), System 5 means:

- CIQ 3.3 (or higher) for devices on 3.x

- CIQ 4.1 (or higher) for devices on 4.x

(Combined with min SDK of 4.1)

I wish this were more clearly communicated to devs and even interested end users,

Does this work?

I'm trying this on simulator with SDK 4.1.1:

  <setting propertyKey="@Properties.showIntHR" title="@Strings.settingsShowIntHR">
    <settingConfig type="boolean"/>
  </setting>
  <group id="groupName" title="@Strings.settingsIntHRTitle" description="@Strings.settingsIntHRTitle" enableIfTrue="@Properties.showIntHR">
    <setting propertyKey="@Properties.intHRSide" title="@Strings.settingsIntHRSide">
      <settingConfig type="boolean"/>
    </setting>
  </group>

I tried it both with enableIfTrue="@Properties.showIntHR" and enableIfTrue="showIntHR", but I don't see the group in the editor (in the sim)

Is it possible the simulator only shows the settings from the last version that is in the store?
1. I sometimes see an error message regarding internet connection

2. I seem to see only the old settings, and with the old strings. Any addition or change in the strings is not reflected in the simulator's property editor. Of course I closed the sim (VSC as well, just to be on the safe side), but nothing from my changes can be seen.

I did not test it but by reading this issue I was reminded of something - be aware that garmin changed the creation of file names in the bin, e.g. "my-app.prg" will now be created as "myapp.prg" and the same is true for the settings definition file. Additionally the default run definition will still try to install the "my-app" so you may need to change that as well...

So delete everything in the bin folder and rebuild your project

I relaized simulator only works with the tore version. I opened a bugreport, feel free to vote on it: forums.garmin.com/.../app-settings-editor-in-sim-is-useless-to-test-settings-xml-locally-works-only-with-the-store-version
