Simulator Settings - WebKit encountered an internal error

Previously when developing my Apps, settings editor in the Simulator worked fine:

File -> Edit Persistant Storage -> Edit Application.Properties Data

But now I get the error:

"WebKit encountered an internal error"

This happens using Simulator 4.2.4 - I rolled back to a previous SDK where it worked and I still get the same error. So may not be SDK related, and possibly something changed on my System. Ubuntu Budgie 22.04.2 LT

I am using Visual Studio Code:

Version: 1.77.3

Any clues or logs I can look at?

Thanks

  • Doing some more investigation it would seem settings are not set locally, but require web access.

    In the simulator using "View HTTP Traffic" I see the settings reach out to Garmin website using the AppID:

    https://apps.garmin.com/valyrian/appSettings2/sdk/<APPID>/display

    This loads ok in a browser, but no way to change the settings.

    I will continue some digging, but would be grateful if anyone could share what the "View HTTP Traffic" of a successful "Edit Application.Properties Data" from the simulator looks like.

    Thanks

  • Perhaps you have already solved this but if someone else also struggles with that: Happend to me when Visual Studio Code was installed as a snap. Switching to apt version from Microsoft download page solved that.  

  • No, it was still causing me a problem.

    You were spot on! Once I uninstalled the snap version and installed the deb version the Simulator started working properly again and I can "Edit Application.Properties Data" 

    Thanks a million for this solution.

  • Thank you so much, it worked for me as well
