Serious iisue with new Store Website

Hi,

There is a serious issue with the new Store Website which truncates the Description to only a few lines (with ...) and there is no obvious way to expand the Text.

This means any information later in the Text can not be seen.

Please can you resolve? I've also sent an email to the Connect IQ Team to flag.

Thanks
Chris

I'm trying to upload an new beta app. In the Google Chrome inspector I see that the POST to:
apps.garmin.com/.../validate

returns: 500 Internal Server Error

Another bug. It seems to ignore setting the hero image.

New versions of applications have stopped uploading. I'm releasing updates to my watch faces for the FR165 series, but I can't upload them to the Connect IQ App Store. The loading wheel starts to rotate, then stops. The buttons to start uploading are made available again. Uploading does not occur.

I guess that every time a new device is released there is a peek of activity from the devs who add the new device to the manifest and release a new version. This might cause some delays in the process. Especially now with the new site design that seems to use CDN. I also noticed that things that were immediate 2 weeks ago (change a picture in the app description) now took a few minutes.

I am seeing similar. Anything over 5MB and it is difficult to upload. I get the message "Sorry, your message couldn’t be submitted because we’re having trouble communicating with our servers. Please try again later." Sometimes less than 5MB and it won't upload, or takes several tries.

I also got that yesterday, but clicking again on the button 5 seconds later worked

What I've been seeing is I have much better luck outside the normal workday in Kansas (US CT). as they may be doing work on the app store, servers, or something

It's after 5pm in Kansas now, and though my update was only a 3mb iq file. no problems at all

I think it is a matter of size, I've been trying this morning from 00:00 to 01:00 Kansas time in vain (for the 12MB one), I've just tried for another (7MB) and yes, first attempt is ok, so just tried again right after with the 12MB which failed.

Yesterday I managed to post an OSM Like watch face with an iq file size of more than 60 megabytes. I think the problem is not the size, but the number of simultaneously uploaded files by different developers.
