Fenix 6X pro solar won't let me sideload apps

It works fine in the simulator, but when I go to put the .prg on my actual watch it just deletes itself. I have looked all over online and people say this happens if it isnt signed, but in my case it is signed with my dev key. Does anyone know any other reason why the .prg file is getting deleted everytime and why the app wont show up in my activities? Please let me know if more information would be helpful. I am on ubuntu, not sure if that would matter, it seems like an issue with the watch, not my OS.

what do you see in the ciq_log.* file(s) under garmin/apps/log?

Just this, and that is not the appname of the .prg that is disappearing, and the date is from 2 days ago so I really doubt it is related to this issue.

also, this is what I am doing to build it, and what happens when I do so. it seems to be successful because a new .prg gets made when I do it and I can run it in the simulator no problem

$ make build

This, along with the CIQ log file saying

kind of indicates what's happening. On the real device, Glances are probably enabled, and when you run in a glance view on the f6xpro, the glance can only be 28k. It's trying to load your whole app, and that exceeds 28K.

You should see this in the sim if you enable glances.

Under Settings, Glance Launch Mode, select "Launch In Glance Mode"

See https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/core-topics/glances/#glances

for info on glances.
