I have developed a watch face that runs well on the simulator. I am able to use the 'App Settings Editor' to change the user settings that I have included on the watch face for the simulator and these work. I have used the 'Build for Device Wizard' to put a copy of my watch face on my device. When doing this there was no place to set the user settings so the watch face is running with defaults. Using Garmin Express the watch face shows up as 'Development Watch Face' and does not allow me to change user settings (the ... icon is missing). Is it possible to change the user settings of a development watch face running on actual hardware? If so, how would I do this?
Can you upload a beta version of an app that already has a release version? And the release version will stay available in the store while you can use the beta? If so then that's more useful. If not then I'd need to change the app name or something to put a beta in the store?
A beta version of an app needs a different UUID than the release version. Once your happy with a beta version, change the UUID and upldate the release version.
You can just grab the .set from the temp directory for the sim in the apps/settings directory - it's name will be the same as the .prg you sideloaded. No need to find/rename .tmp files On Windows, %tmp%/Garmin looks just like a watch, directory wise.
Can anybody please tell me where this file is located on a Mac? I have been searching for it for a while and cannot locate it.

Ha! Answered my own question. I found the Mac-equivalent %tmp% directory by typing ‘open $TMPDIR’ in Terminal.app. It opened a Finder window with a folder that contains the ‘GARMIN’ subfolder.
Hope that helps anybody who finds themselves in the same situation.
Copying over .set files has become a bit more of a challenge since when this thread started. On some devices, they are case sensitive and not limited to 8.3 names. And if you have a mac, you need something like AFT https://www.android.com/filetransfer/ with Music devices.
It's actually much easier to go with using a beta app as discussed in this thread.
