load widget without garmin connect

I created a widget that displays some lines of text on the Garmin screen.
This widget loaded from PC on the Garmin 1030 (I copy the .prg file directly into the Garmin/App. directory), works perfectly.
If I load it in the same way on the Garmin 1040 it does not work: the widget does not appear on the Garmin and in the Garmin/App/LOGS directory, the following error log is generated:

Error: 'Unsupported app was removed: WidgetRandoNotes1.prg'
Time: 2025-07-05T15:13:31Z
Part-Number: 006-B3843-00
Firmware-Version: '27.14'
Language-Code: ita

You are building the app for the 1040 and not the 1030, correct?  When you build a sideload, make sure you build for the actual device you want to test with.

Do you use the latest SDK?

The widget was developed for GARMIN 1030 in ECLIPSE development environment, with an old version of SDK ...

You want to use VSC and a newer SDK.  8.2.1 is the latest.

Ok...I'll try!

I recompiled everything with the new Visual Studio environment and the latest SDK.
I created two versions of my widget: One for Garmin 1030 that works perfectly. The one for Garmin 1040, once copied into the APP directory, is not seen in the widget list. If I connect the Garmin 1040 with Garmin Express, I see that my widget is present in the Garmin ... but I can't see where I can enable it ... any ideas ?

Do you have a glance view?  You'll need that on the 1040..  Otherwise it's just shows as a device app

...sorry for my inexperience... what is "glance view"?
