Apps not auto-migrating to Venu 3?

I was notified that my apps are not available on the Venu 3 even thought I have auto-migrate enabled.

Shouldn't the auto-migration happened by now?

    Auto migration doesn't happen for all new devices, but only if they are "close" to an existing device (and that can vary).  If it was going to happen, you'd see it the day the new device is announced.

    It could be a number of things that prevent it.

    You need to add the Venu3 to your app, test it, and upload a new IQ file.

    None of my apps were auto migrated, so I've been updating them manually

    I think in this case it's because the screen resolution is different for Venu 3/3S vs. Venu 2/2S. There are seemingly other reasons to block auto-migration, but this is the most common one I've noticed. If an existing device does not have a next-gen variant with the same resolution, then it's pretty much a given it won't be auto-migrated.

    Venu 2: 416x416
    Venus 2S: 360x360

    Venu 3: 454x454
    Venu 3S: 390x390

    Ah, that makes sense, thx

    One thing to note with the venu3/3s is that it's got "wheelchair mode" which impacts any app that uses steps/stepGoal.

    You can test this in the sim with "settings>wheelchair mode".  When this is checked, under "simulation>Activity Monitoring>Set Activity Monitor Info" you see pushes instead of steps and pushGoal instead of stepGoal.  At a minimum you want to check for a crash in wheelchair mode, but you probably want to use pushes instead of steps in wheelchair mode

    And this can be a bit tricky.  I wish there was something like System.getDeviceSettings().isWheelchair, but there's not.  Per Brandon, right now check for pushes!=0, but I've also found that in the sim, the stepGoal will be 0 if in wheelchair mode. Not sure if that's the case on a real device though....

    Now I wonder about the move bar.  Is that even a thing in wheelchair mode?  I see it in the sim, but what about the actual venu3/3s in wheelchair mode?

    advise  doesn't work on sim as I've mentioned in

    According to the doc, now, most members can be null e.g. steps, movebar level, ..., so I don't know if it's truth or only trick to not specify members with values.

    Simulation of activity also doesn't run for wheelchair so I don't know if movebar is connected with pushes.

    Soon ERA will give us an answer :-)
