Need to download app iq file

Hooky 10 days ago

This is really an admin/support request. I have an app that I uploaded many years ago. I've since changed computers many times and no longer have the source code. I'd like to download the iq file so I can at least read some structural details from the original app in order to build a new version (as a new app).

Who do I contact for this?

There is no way to get the iq file back, and even if there was, there's no source code in it - just the compiled prg files and json files for app settings and fitcontrib data.

There is substantial structural information in the debug files which are included in the iq file. These should be accessible to the developer.

Please raise a ticket for the team that manages the CIQ store. These files should be easy to access and send back.

All the debug tells you is symbols and offsets.

I think most devs have a copy of the iq (or one that's close) it what was submitted. I still have iq files from 5 yeras ago for apps I no longer update

Jim, you are simply restating my issue(s), but with a negative and defeatist leaning. It is not helpful.

I don't have the files. That's why I want it. It will help. I'm aware of what's in the file(s). There's no need for you to be commenting on this unless you're a Garmin employee. And if you are, please raise an internal ticket as I requested.

They are, and it's only one. I just need the .iq file. There's some specific structure in it that I know I can get from the debug file. Thanks though.

Only the debug file is of any use to me, and you can't get that, only Garmin will have it (in the iq package).
