How do you test builds on the device?

Former Member over 10 years ago

I have a test app building on the simulator so that's great, but now I'd like to load it to the device and I can't figure out how.

Basic question i know... but the readme in the SDK only talks about using the simulator, not the device. This would be on the mac if that helps.

Simple answer - basically, all you have to do is connect the device with USB and then copy it to the Garmin/apps directory on the device, when you unplug from USB, your CIQ .prg will be available

Easiest way (if you're using Eclipse) is - as jim_m_58 mentions - plug-in your watch via USB to the computer, then in Eclipse, from the Connect IQ drop-down menu at the top, select "Build Project for Device" - pick the Eclipse project you want to build, which device to build it for, and then for the directory - select the "APPS" directory on your device (e.g., the "GARMIN" volume)
