Yeah, for beta Connect IQ apps, the old ways like Garmin Express are gone. Upload to your developer dashboard, then use the download button there to select your device. It installs on next sync via the Connect IQ mobile app. Sideloading works too but limits phone settings changes.
Upload to your developer dashboard, then use the download button there to select your device.
That will only work if you are on the Chinese CIQ store site (apps.garmin.cn). For apps.garmin.com, the download button is gone. The two sites are *not* interchangeable (a user ID that works on apps.garmin.com won't work on apps.garmin.cn).
The answer for everyone outside of China is:
TL;DR get the app link from the old dev dashboard (https://apps.garmin.com/developer/dashboard), open the app link on your phone and it will open the corresponding page in the CIQ store, where you can install the app as usual
(currently you have to use this "old" url for the dashboard, and not the new url that the CIQ team recommends)
- navigate to the beta app
- copy the app url to your phone somehow (e.g. send an email or message to yourself, or maybe you opened the dashboard in your phone's browser)
- open the app in your phone's browser (or other native app). You will either automatically be redirected to the Connect IQ store app, or you will be given a button to do the same
