Vivoactive: launcher icon disappeared

Hi,

I installed new Eclipse Neon and new SDK2.1.2....everything operates well in my apps except that the launch icon disappeared when I push the app in my vivoactive watch.
There is only a black icon with app title....I don't understand the reasons because I modified nothing in the Project.
Is someone observed this issue also?

Best regard

Have you tried switching back to the 1.2.11 SDK to verify it isn't a bug with 2.1.2?

Make sure when you "build for device" in eclipse you are building for the proper device.

If you build for a 23x but it copied to a va-hr the icon will look odd! (trust me, as I've done things like this in the past!)

I have had the same issue. Exactly the same situation .. my launcher icon just disappears. I am using a VivoactiveHR.

I downgraded the SDK2.1 to 1.2.11....same situation!
Information, I use the last watch firmware

Thank for your reply
I trust you....but in the manifest in selected only "vivoactive" watch and then with the tool "build for device" impossible to select another watch type.

Could you have a conflict with the id in your manifest? Such as two different .prgs on the watch with the same UUID? I'm not sure if that would cause problems like this, but something to check.

It definitely is a bug, and likely a perfect storm situation where you needed just the right combination.

I do not have enough information to tell you which versions I was using. I am no longer experiencing any issues (in fact I updated the app in question, and 2 almost identical apps in the last few days with no issues). None of them are in the Garmin store however.

I have had 2 VAHR firmware updates and 2 Eclipse updates since I was experiencing the issue. So I think it is history now. Likely the answer .. update all your software.

Edit .. I just checked my manifest files for the 3 apps and they are all different.

There could be a case where you have a .prg of yours from the app store, and then sideload the same prg (same UUID on the watch twice). They would have different names (I think the FW tries to catch this, but I've not tried it). Or maybe something like two copies of the same sideload on the watch because you renamed it in Eclipse?

You might want to clear all the .prgs from your watch, and then try the sideload again.

Hi,

I solved this issue. Thanks a lot for everybody.
For feedback, I downgraded also Eclipse Neon to Eclipse Mars, no chnage!
Finaly, I suppress everithing: SDK/monkey/Eclipse and I reinstalled the Development Plateform accoding the Garmin instruction -> everything now operates!

Garmin you really need to fix this already. It is annoying .. and even users have to reinstall their apps for the launcher icon to show when it does not when installed from the store. It does not give anyone the warm fuzzy feeling.

Reinstalling everything is not a good answer.
