IDE issue

I have just replaced my battered Forerunner 45 with a 55. As I am not keen on any of the Faces I have decided to create my own. I generally use Visual Studio Code and it appears to be the preferred IDE. However, I am very bemused to find it only supports API 4.0.6 and up. The 55 requires 3.2.0 so will not compile. So apart from going old school and doing everything with a text editor and CLI is Eclipse my only option?

Thanks

The current SDK is version 4.1.4 and you can use that to build for any device including the fr55. Don't confuse the SDK version with the version of the CIQ VM on a device.

Only started with this today and working through the tutorial. Not so clear on the API version. I have set the SDK to 4.1.4 and in the manifest minApiLevel to 3.2.5 (for the 55) and that is now ok, apart from a couple of warnings. Might be a while before I get a nice watch face!

Thanks for helping me make sense of it and a lightning reply.

FYI. For the minApiLevel in the manifest, I've always just used 1.2.x If you want to restrict devices like the fr45, just don't include them as a target for your app

Good to know. Thanks again.
