Garmin Approval (EEA), how to

Leon 7 months ago

Hi there

I recently published a WatchFace which is now approved by garmin. Unfortunately it is not availably for the whole world.

I see this info:

Due to current regulations, Connect IQ cannot make your apps available in the EEA region until you obtain Garmin approval.

What do I habe to do to be approved by garmin?

Or is this still the app review process?

Kind regards

Leon

You can find the WatchFace by searching for "Pedro":

See this thread. This is something that just started in Mid Feb. It's an extra form you fill out, but for new folks, I thought they were shown that automatically...

Brandon.ConnectIQ Maybe it would be a good idea to improve the Edit App Details form:

1st: add a link to the Regional Limits section that explains what this is all about, how it works now, and what the developer has to do.

2nd: maybe it could be smart enough to display the relevant stuff only when it's needed, depending on the selection.

Thank you. Exactly what I have looked for :-)

Once you submit it, it can take a few days, and you'll be asked to submit things like a copy of your driver's license or passport. For me, I was grandfathered in for the EEA stuff as I've been doing apps for years, but I still did the form right away.

Any updates on your situation? Did you get it done? I'm going through this process and have no idea on how long it should take.
