I've read that after building an app for the proper device and SDK I should be able to simply upload the .PRG file to the GARMIN/APPS directory for testing. However, after doing so I do not see the app appear in the applications list or in the application settings list. What might I be missing? Is there any application naming convention? Is there anything I need to do to accept the permission requirements of the application? I have tried the application on a fenix 3 and Forerunner 235 with no luck. Both have CIQ 1.44 and the fenix 3 has firmware version 8.90. I do not believe it is an issue with the application because I was not able to upload sample applications in this way either.
Your app runs in the sim, correct? What version of the SDK are you using? Are you using the "build for device" wizard?
The 235 is a bit different as to where to find device apps - at the same level of menus where you see "run" and "bike" there is one called "apps", and the CIQ device apps are under that.
Are you building a device app, or a data field, widget or watch face? Those are found/used in different ways.
Yes, the device app runs fine in the simulator. I've been using SDK version 2.4.8 on my machine and building for v1.4 using the build for device wizard.
Yes, the .prg is in the right place and there's nothing in the log. I've also tried turning the device off and back on between uploading the .prg and checking if the device recognizes the new app, with no luck.
Jim, I asked around the office and found out that my machine encrypts all files moved to or from a removable storage device, which turned out to be my problem. Thank you for all your help, especially the tip on moving apps to the FR235!
