SDK Manager - Initial Setup

Jacquers

It would be more user friendly if I could configure the preferences during the initial setup. E.g. SDK Manager Updates, SDK Updates, Device Updates and Download Location.

With the current setup once you accept the license agreement it also just starts downloading all devices. Then I have to wait until that's finished and then move the download location.

I'm using the Windows version, 1.0.15

    Hmm could've sworn…

    If you want to check the default behaviour, you could make a new user account to do so. That's what I usually do, although I realize it's time consuming.

    I deleted the contents of the appdata\roaming\garmin folder and I didn't get any options, just the licence agreement.

    The SDK folders for windows and mac aren't identical though (note that the mac SDK folders have "mac" in the folder name).

    Although there's some shared java packages, and there's even (unused) Windows scripts distributed with the mac SDK, the simulator (ConnectIQ.app on Mac) is a native app and you only get the version that works with your OS.

    i.e. Windows users get the Windows simulator, and Mac users get the Mac simulator

    So you would have to download the SDKs multiple times if you somehow had a portable installation that you shared with different OSs.

    Yeah I saw the same thing just by renaming the sdkmanager-config.ini file. It seemed like the SDK manager started trying to download devices and SDKs even before I accepted the license agreement, but that could also be because I didn't delete anything else.

    It's probably new behaviour where Garmin doesn't want new devs to turn off automatic updates, then come to the forums and ask why they get an error about missing devices when they try to build.

    That kinda makes sense.

    I'll just copy the stuff I need from one pc to the other and edit the files in the appdata\roaming directory to point to the correct locations.
