WatchFace.initialize() bug for new added FR955 & FR255

Today I updated device definitions through SDK Manager and new devices have been added: FR955 & FR255 family.

When trying to test in simulator my developed watch face on new devices - it crashes & simulator is displaying a popup: "The currently running device does not support this function. Please see if there is a device update in the Connect IQ SDK Manager"

Through Debug Console I navigated to line of code which is causing that and this is Watchface class initialization in my watchface view e.g.:

function initialize() {

WatchFace.initialize();

}

The workaround solution is to comment this line - but it was added for purpose and all other devices are working with it.

Is it a bug or feature (of newly added devices) ?

What do you think ?

this bug should not be at all if anyone would do any tests because is permanent but stock apps don…

Same for me. It is not only WatchFace.initialize(), for me it fails on these 2 as well:

View.initialize();
...
Menu=new WatchUi.Menu2({:title=>"Select"});

Same here, but I also see that for D2 Air Mach 1.

I initially thought it could've been to do with CIQ4 but Venu2 works ok...

Same here. Error occurs when pushing a custom menu.

Garmin doesn't plan to fix it

Thank you. But everything worked fine until I updated the sdk.

I have 4.1.3 and unfortunately it doesn't run.

Same. Does not work with any older version too.

There is something about the device files for the 955 and 255 that cause an issie with the 4.1.3 SDK

Please go to that bug report and add a +1 so Garmin knows how important it is.

It's been closed.

This is an example of what's missing in some bug reports and it was closed before there were replies. There's no mention that this was only with the 255/955, the SDK version, etc. in the initial post.
