App occasionally exits unexpectedly to glance carousel on physical device

I am seeing an issue where my app exits unexpectedly when running on a physical device, an Epix 2 Pro with the latest firmware.

I have debug logging in place, and it shows that the code paths in my app which are supposed to exit the app are not called. In my case, that would be the delegate’s onBack() method calling WatchUi.popView().

I cannot reliably reproduce the issue. It just happens occasionally. It also happens while I am actively interacting with the app, so it does not seem to be related to the app being terminated after a period of inactivity. Also, when this happens, the app exits back to the glance carousel rather than the watch face, which is what normally happens after inactivity.

Has anyone seen something like this, or does anyone have an idea what could cause it?

The app performs communication requests and displays full-screen custom views to the user. It does not use specialized view types such as Menu2 or CustomMenu.

on button watches with touch, a swipe from left to right is seen the same was as pressing the back button. Are you sure that's not involved? Even if it's just a short swipe.

Yes, I am sure that is not involved. For one thing, I have touch disabled on my watch. Also, even if it were triggered that way, it should still show up in the logs as a call to onBack(), which it does not.

Do you only see this in your one app, or do you see it in others, including those by other developers?

In your delegate, are you sure you are returning th proper true/false in all cases?

That is a very good point. I may have seen it with the second app I develop as well, but I am not 100% sure.

I do not use any other CIQ apps on a regular basis, so I cannot really say whether it could happen with other apps too.

Yes, I do that, and I have just reviewed it again. Everything looks good.
