Different App-ID

Hi,

I developed a watchface with Eclipse using the IQ Connect plugin. Since I've updated the SDK, the App-ID has changed and I cannot update the watchface because of it. Could you tell me what the app-id is so I can alter the manifest.xml ?

This is the watchface.

Kind regards,

  • I ended up here 7 years later so maybe someone else will as well. Apparently there is a way to get this from Connect IQ yourself even if you don't have any backups.

    1. Figure out your developer id. As of today just sign in to https://apps.garmin.com and click on your username on any of your apps. You should end up at apps.garmin.com/.../<your-developer-id>/apps
    2. Click on the app you want to get the app id for. You should end up at https://apps.garmin.com/apps/<your-public-application-id>
    3. Combine the two and go to apps.garmin.com/.../<your-developer-id>/apps/<your-public-application-id>/metadata?isShadowApp=false
    4. Look for appIqFileInfoResult followed by manifestAppId, this should hold your application id which is most likely a UUID.
  • If you go to "Edit Details" for your app, the Appid is shown at the top.

  • Oh god, that's a way easier way to do it! Not sure how I missed that, probably due to the dashes stripped from my UUID. Thanks!

    Thanks for sharing tho, that's still a cool trick. (To be fair, the metadata URL you posted is actually one of the requests that's made when you click Edit Details, but it's still cool.)

    Here's the same URL without that annoying link text abbreviation thing the forum does, for ease of copy/pasting:

    https://apps.garmin.com/api/ciq-developerservices/developers/DEVELOPER_ID/apps/PUBLIC_APP_ID/metadata?isShadowApp=false

    Wrapped for readability, but surrounded by square brackets (so it's harder to copy/paste):
