Accidentaly uploaded beta version with existing manifest ID

FlipStone
Ok, so I wanted to upload a beta version of one of my widgets but forgot to change the manifest ID, so now it has the same manifest ID as the main version. Can I delete the beta version safely and reupload it? (I can't upload a beta version with different manifest id because I then get the error of the ids not being the same).

I assume this can be safely done but I iust want to make sure the manifest id is not somehow used as unique identifier in the background and then find out the main version is also removed when removing the beta version ;)
  • I did not think you could upload a second app with the same manifest ID, this should have given you an error. I'd have the same worry you have about deleting the beta so you may wish to wait until one of the connectIQ team can take a look at their end.

    In the short term, you could change the manifest ID and upload another beta version. I cannot see anything wrong doing that.
  • I'd hold off on deleting the weird beta version as it may impact something with the production version since it's got the same ID. Email links to the beta and production versions to garmin. with link to this thread

    There does seem to be something where things can get messed up if you try to update from two browser tabs at the same time and the IDs get confused, so only use one tab
  • Thanks for the responses... I'll leave it as it is for now and see if I can contact the connectiq people for more help on this.

    FlipStone,

    Were you updating both at the same time (two different tabs)? We have seen an issue where you can accidentally get a duplicate manifest ID. This could explain how it happened. I've updated our Known Issues Thread to talk about it with instructions on how to resolve it.

    Thanks,

  • Thanks Coleman.ConnectIQ! I guess that was the issue (indeed working in 2 tabs at the same time). Will send a mail to the connectiq team about it...

    ps. Tried 'tagging' you but kept getting JSON errors with that hehe, so a little bit of a delayed reply ;)

    FlipStone,

    I've got your email and sent the info to the App Store team.

    Thanks!

  • Awesome! Thanks for the great support Coleman!

    (btw, getting a JSON error when tagging you, that is doing the @Coleman(dot)ConnectIQ thingie... Perhaps the . in your name?)

    FlipStone,

    That's really odd. I just checked with some other Garmin folk's names and didn't have any errors. I was thinking that the "." was it as well, but I tried just choosing from the names that popped up from the list and also typing it out fully. I'll see what might be happening with our forum team. Does it give you an error if you try to tag someone else?

  • Hmmm, can't tag myself either so it's not your name afterall... no clue what the issue is (I only tagged you, and me, with the text 'tagged'. Without quotes ;) ).
