New Garmin Connect IQ (IOS APP) User Settings Results in IQ!

I was testing User Settings and between GCM and the new GCIQ (Garmin Connect IQ) App on IOS, the new GCIQ seems to be doing something funny.

a Numeric user setting input on GCIQ would result in an IQ! whereas in GCM it would be OK.

When the logs are checked in the watch, it says

'UnexpectedTypeException: Expected Number/Float/Long/Double, given Float/String'

Bug or otherwise?

This sounds like what's in the New Developer FAQ Wiki under the section

"My app uses app settings, and it sometimes crashes after changing the settings, but the rest of the time it works fine. What can cause this?"

Basically a wrapper function to insure the value is the proper type. It first showed up with Android in 2016, but I bet that's it..

I have a couple of users reporting exactly the same issue you mention here.

I'm now wondering what the Garmin IQ app is doing differently than the GCM app because clearly something changed that is causing this behavior.

Maybe Garmin staff can throw some light on this.

Nevermind the Wiki is pretty clear on why this may happen.
