Made some progress on publishing complications!

This is with the 4.2.0 beta1 SDK, the f7 System 6 preview device, and one of my watch apps.  Here's what I see in the sim under Simulation>Complications, when I select the complication.  The app is running in the sim at this point.  The image is the icon I supplied for the complication.  53.10 is the temperature as seen by the app.  A first step!

    Woa awesome! I'll try again with my app and see if I can get it working as well! Thanks for reporting Jim!

    And I put togeter a very simple watch face that displays the last data from the publisher in the sim.  (Since the device app isn't running the data doesn't change.  I'll need a real device with System 6 to try that,

    The doc with 4.2.0 beta1 has some typos and other things that aren't clear....

    The latest F7 alpha FW, version 11.15, includes CIQ 4.2.0 support.  So you can now sideload an app to test if you have a F7/Epix/Marq2.  I would consider this an early developer Christmas present since it was released on 12/15.

    Thanks!  With the 11.5 alpha FW, I'm both publishing and consuming on a real device.  I needed to do some hacks for consuming something published by a CIQ app, and right now I don't know if the doc is wrong or the SDK is missing a couple of things.

    Glad you got to test on a real device.

    Given that it is a beta SDK and alpha FW, I would say there is a good chance both the doc is wrong and the SDK is missing something.  Laughing

    Hello together,

    I also started to implement some complications to my watchfaces.
    Use the 4.2.0 beta 1.
    My watch is a Fenix 7s, with the newest alpha firmware 11.15.

    On the simulator there is no Fenix 7s, but only the Fenix 7 system 6 preview. So I used this for tests.

    The watchface compiled without errors and it runs.
    "onPress" is called, but the complication is not shown in the simulator.
    I used this function "Complications.exitTo(thisComplication);"

    Then I builded a release version of the Watchface and sideloaded it to the watch. I was a bit skeptical if it could work. But... it works like a charm

    Question is, why is the complication not shown in the simulator?
    Do I have to be patient and wait for the next release of the simulator?
    Or did I miss some parameters?

    Jim, it looks like as of today, the F6 family got an alpha build which supports SDK 3.4.0.  So you know have another device to test System 6 with.  Although you won't get complications on the F6.

    As I'm looking at complications, a device with 3.4.x won't help, but it does look like as a of a few hours back, there's alpha FW for the venu2 with 4.2.0/system 6!

    I loaded the Venu2 FW this afternoon.  I saw the CIQ improvements, but mised that it added System 6.

    I knew the F6 won't help with complications, but found it interesting that it already has a alpha bring it to System 6 for the features that it will get.

    Check "about>Sw Versions" on the v2, They kind of obscure things, but it says System 6 and a bit later, API level 4.2.0

    And my test apps for publishing and consuming are working on it!
