.iq application is not recognized on the device

Former Member over 8 years ago

Hello,

I made my first watchface for garmin fenix 3, in simulation it run perfect so I decided to test it on the device (Garmin Fenix 3), I copied the generated .iq file to /GARMIN/APPS, but after diconection my watchface was not recognized by the device. Where could be a problem?

I realized that the.iq file can be opened by Total commander, and from this file I am able to get .prg file, which I put to /GARMIN/APPS and my watchface was loaded by the device, but not correctly, ignoring the language which was set and so on. Any ideas?

Ok, you do need to use a .prg for the side load. The .iq is actually a .zip format with a tree structure, so there will be different .prgs based on the part numbers, etc. The easiest way to get the .prg on the watch is to use "build for device wizard" in the Connect IQ menu in Eclipse and not pull it from the .iq. An .iq is needed when you upload to the store, or to use with monkeyGraph.

Not sure how to pick a specific language, but maybe by picking a language in the simulator under settings?
