Checking device has new Storage features setValue and getValue

I am trying to use the new Storage module available in release 2.4 of CIQ. Since I am using the application across a range of devices I need to check if the feature is available.

If I use

if (Toybox.Application has :Storage)

then in the simulator it not only returns 'true' for 2.4 SDK but also for 2.3

if I use

if (Toybox.Application.Storage has :setValue)

Then it seems to have the correct result in the simulator but actually crashes a device still only supporting 2.3 SDK for example a Descent Mk1

What is the correct way to test if the new Storage features are available and can be used ?

Thanks

There's a bug report related to this. See:

The has check should work.

If you use:

if (Toybox.Application has :Storage && Toybox.Application.Storage has :setValue)

it should work in both the simulator and on the watches and should workaround the issue until it is fixed.

Thanks very much for the prompt replies! I am going to have to get better at searching the forums since I could find the post you referenced Jim, thanks!

Has anyone tried the suggested work around on a device to be sure that it works before I publish another update that has problems ?
