One thing I'm always missing is the ability to test things in specific devices I don't have. Now this is not easy on a per problem base, but there are certain things that can be tested and the results used. I know there are a bunch of apps that developers made and some can be found in github, others even in the store. For example apps that display all the information from DeviceSettings or that display the whole color palette. I propose to create (or "merge" from available code) an app that displays all kind of information similar to: https://apps.garmin.com/apps/44cb7384-f0d2-4ea3-8c73-750ede036c8c _psx_ can you put the code to github?
Then we could do some things:
1. the app would have a page numbering system. Each page will display the number (it can be hierarchical: 1.1) at the top-left corner, to make it easy to identify it.
2. each page will display some short device info in the top-right corner (at least the device: fenix6, but maybe we need a bit more precise if we have multiple part-numbers)
3. then each page will have some data on it.
4. developers who have a device not yet covered could go through all the screens, take a screenshot *) and then create a new folder for the device in the git repo and upload all the images.
*) for the color pages (I just used it now...) we maybe will need to not only take screenshots with the device shortcut, but also with our phone, because the colors look way different. I mean if I take a screenshot with the device itself (fenix6 - 64 color MIP) and then I open it in a computer with a decent monitor then it looks pretty nice, but if we take a picture with a phone then it shows how it really looks. Not that nice)
5. maybe the app could also post as much info as possible via a web service.
6. When someone encounters an issue, something like how dc.drawRectangle or drawLine behaves differently in certain devices, then we can add a new page to the app to demonstrate it in a way that it can be then identified from the screenshots and added to some csv or json file in the git repo (unfortunately most things won't be possible to detect automatically, because, although we could even add a script that scans the screenshot and deducts the information, but that's a bit more complicated)
This way we could both volunteer information from devices we own and get info about devices we don't own. Let me know if it makes sense and if you think this could work.
