Widget: Can't see settings button in Garmin Express

Former Member over 9 years ago

Hi!

I'm developing a new widget and I've declared a couple of settings. My settings.xml is as follows:

[HTML]<settings>
<setting propertyKey="@Properties.appVersion" title="@Strings.AppVersionTitle">
<settingConfig type="alphaNumeric" readonly="true" />
</setting>
<setting propertyKey="@Properties.userToken" title="@Strings.UserTokenTitle" prompt="@Strings.UserTokenPrompt">
<settingConfig type="alphaNumeric" required="true" maxLength="24"/>
</setting>
</settings>[/HTML]

In the simulator I've got no problems, but now I'm trying the .PRG in my 920XT and after copying the file and sync with Garmin Express, I can see my widget as a 'developer widget', but no '...' button is shown to configure my settings.

Any idea?

That is a known limitation.
GE CIQ settings only work for apps in the store.

You can only test with the simulator.

Other option is to upload to test store, but specify "Do NOT approve".
You can then download and test with GE

The Garmin folks will know you are testing it and not approve. Only you can see and download it in order to test it
