Impossiblity to read property.xml file after modifications, always the old prperties

Hi,
I'm searching since two days, but impossible to find what's wrong.
I've made an app with a property file, in /resources/properties.xml
The firt time, it's OK, the simulator read the file, it's OK
But after having modifie the XML file with a text editor, impossible to have my new properties.
The file is like this :
<properties>
<property id="1" type="string">41.332353 ;9.255809;;Iles Lavezzi</property>
<property id="2" type="string">41.383892 ;9.145946;;Bonifacio</property>
</properties>

<strings>
<string id="Titre">Waypoint</string>
</strings>

<settings>
<setting propertyKey="1" title="Titre"> <settingConfig type="alphaNumeric" /> </setting>
<setting propertyKey="2" title="Titre"> <settingConfig type="alphaNumeric" /> </setting>
</settings>

I've made some code for reading thoses properties, and I always have the old properties, as if the simulator was keeping them in memory
Impossible to read the new properties
I've tried to put some settings in my properties files, and perhaps that is the problem.

I've tried to create an new app, by copying my source codes, and I always have the old properties !!!!!!

I think I have missed something and I don't understand anything !!!!

I'm on Eclipse for Windows, with connect IQ SDK Win 2.2.2

Thanks for your help :)

I noticed the same thing after updating iq apps. If there are changes in properties.xml (new order, new settings) I must delete the settings file on the device or must reset the device to get it work.

I had noticed a similar problem with the 2.2.2 SDK. I filed a bug here. It may not have been fixed for 2.2.3, I haven't tested.

Same Problem

I've noticed that problem on all v2.x.x products I've worked on.

It sounds like this is seen in the sim, and things on the device could be different. Is it like Travis problem report where resource overrides are involved? Is it just windows, a mac or both?

What happens if you delete the sim's temp directory? Does that resolve it?

With devices, there can be a mismatch between the version of settings for the version in the app store vs what's cuttently installed on the device, so could that be involved?

Please, what is sim ?
Someone could tell me how to reset the simulator ? I didn't find how to do, and I think that is the problem
Thanks

sim = shorthand for simulator

The Sim's temp directory is under <user>/appdata/local/temp/garmin (it's then the same as you see on a watch) on windows 10. Not sure about a mac, as I think it's a bit trickier to find.

OK, Thanks a lot,
It's OK when I delete the sim's /setting files
I can go on
Thanks very much
