Garmin Connect Mobile does no longer allow to clear settings

A Descriptive Title (e.g. "Simulator Freezes Launching App in Eclipse")

Garmin Connect Mobile does no longer allow to clear string values in the settings

The Environment:

Garmin Connect Mobile 4.3

A detailed description of the issue

This used to work before, but when trying to clear the text in Garmin Connect Mobile a exclamation mark is now shown, it works to clear the setting in Garmin Express.

(Although it's the default, in this case I've also tried to explicitely set required="false" on the settingConfig but this does not change the error)

<setting propertyKey="@Properties.alarm2Text" title="@Strings.alarm2TextTitle">
            <settingConfig type="alphanumeric" required="false" />
        </setting>

Steps to reproduce the issue

Example app to reproduce: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/7...c-3a5fa93376c3
Use Garmin Connect Mobile: Clear the value for alarm text 2 and save

this appears to still be an issue with Android Garmin Connect - i am at v4.8.

here are my repro details:

i have an app (CGMLoop) in the store, and when I use it on my phone with Garmin Connect and try to change an alphaNumeric string setting from non-blank to blank Connect just says "Try again" and doesn't let me set it.

the required flag is false, so as i understand it users should be able to set it back to blank...(the app settings in simulator allows setting it back to blank, fwiw).
from settings.xml:
<setting propertyKey="@Properties.nsurl" title="@Strings.nsurl" prompt="@Strings.nsurlPrompt">
<settingConfig type="alphanumeric" required="false" /></setting>

Okay. I have been looking into this. This was a change that was made on purpose for security reasons by the Garmin Connect Mobile team. We are in discussions with them about the reasoning and impact specifically for CIQ devs.
