Can't install application to Fenix 7s - SOLVED

2832284 over 4 years ago

Hi all,

I'm new to application development for Garmin devices.

What I successfully did on my Macbook M1:

- install SDK and create developer key

- Create application using VisualStudioCode wizzard.

- Set Language and Edit Product

- Compile and run "HelloWorld" application using the simulator as debug version

- Copy "HelloWorld.prg" to the GARMIN/APPS folder

Error:

- On disconnecting the watch from USB the screen shows 2-3 seconds "Loading Maps"

- The "Hello World" application is not visible on the watch

- Reconnecting to the computer the PRG is no longer available in the GARMIN/APPS folder

Setup:

- MacBook Air M1

- Fenix 7s (latest firmware)

- SDK 4.1.4 (not the beta)

- AFT 1.0.12

Any idea, what I missed or why it's not working?

That's it ... I was looking at the wrong place ... it's visible and working, when I press START from the watchface ... thanks a lot to all!

It's not visible in the activities/apps list (visible when you press START from the watchface)? Do you see when you use the Connect IQ app on your phone to manage the watch's apps?

That's normal as devices which support music move PRGs for certain kinds of apps to hidden storage.

What kind of app? widget, device app, data field, etc?

Do you see anything in Garmin\apps\logs\ciq_log.yml?

No, Garmin\apps\logs keeps empty.

I've select "Watch App" from "Edit Application" in Visual Studio Code
