I'm experiencing a build issue when using activityrecording module. Every kind of sport i use i got the same message:
'$.Toybox.ActivityRecording.SPORT_CYCLING' is deprecated. examples into sdk documentation use :sport and :subsport but i cannot...
Where am i wrong?
thank you very much
If you aren't using the 4.1.7 SDK, try that. This is in the change log for 4.1.7
What does your call to ActivityRecording…
I'm thinking it's SUB_SPORT_SPIN that's causing the warning. What happens if instead you use SUB_SPORT_GENERIC
Then try using the number 5 instead of SUB_SPORT_SPIN

Looking at the docs and reading between the lines (bc Garmin never explicitly spells this stuff out), it looks like they want you to use the new Activity.Sport and Activity.SubSport enums, instead of the old ActivityRecording.Sport and ActivityRecording.SubSport enums.
The new enums are supersets of the old enums, and they're marked as "since 3.2.0". It's funny bc I see two possibilities:
1) The new enums can't be used with old devices, which means that the compiler is once again preventing us from using a deprecated function/enum which is actually necessary for old devices (this kind of thing has come up before)
2) The new enums *can* be used with old devices (as long as you don't use the new values) -- in this case, why not expand the old enums instead? Obviously the reason is that the new values in the new enums will only work for new devices. Which circles back to the argument that Garmin shouldn't prevent people from using "deprecated" stuff which is actually necessary for old devices.
IOW, Garmin needs to find a way to deprecate stuff only for newer devices, and allow us to continue to use the same stuff for old devices. In this case you probably have the workaround of using the new enums or hardcoding the integer values, but it's not ideal.
