Simulator App Settings down

Anybody else having issues this week with the simulator app settings editor? it's been flaky off and on all week, but today seems to be completely down. Just get a 500 error. Also, why does this even need internet access when I'm testing locally. sigh.

I reported it as well here: Simulator: Settings not available, Error 500
This has been happening for a few weeks, but usually trying to open the settings again a few times got around it. That doesn't work anymore since this morning.

Whenyou build an iq file, that includes json files used by app settings, and when app settings are used by the user, these json files are required.

That's why the internet is needed to get this from the app store. It's the same reason you can't do app settings with sideloads. See the New Developer wiki

We understand that, but the issue here is that the Garmin server often does not respond or is unavailable. I am only able to access the settings about half the time.

I'm having the same issue - if it makes a difference I'm in Europe
