onHold event never fires near the 12 o'clock screen edge on tactix 8 (guessed likely conflict with system touchscreen-lock's implementation)

Spent a while debugging this — posting in case anyone else hit it or in case it's a known thing. On the device, onHold is never delivered when the touch lands near the top edge (~12 o'clock area). onTap at the exact same spot works fine. Simulator is...

Test conditions on real tactix 8: minimal view, black background, one rectangle that snaps to the finger position in onDragging. No bitmap blits, no scene graph, no math — drawContent is effectively empty. Measured behavior First second or two: events...

Hi Garmin team, I'm opening this ticket to consolidate a request that keeps resurfacing across the developer community. The ambient light sensor is physically present in nearly every modern Garmin watch, yet Connect IQ developers still have no way to...

Heart rate graph

The graph lines on the y axis are from 78 to 190. My heart rate is about 70 to 90. So only the bottom part of the graph is used with the top all unused. This makes it harder to visualise. Y axis should dynamicly adjust based on the range for selected...

In the API docs, the nativeNum option is documented for ActivityRecording.Session.createField(), but not DataField.createField(), although I believe it's actually available for both functions. (Since I have an old CIQ data field which uses nativeNum,...

When accessing an HTTP URL via Communications.makeWebRequest(), a -1001 error (SECURE_CONNECTION_REQUIRED) should be returned if an HTTPS connection is required (when the device is paired with an Android phone). This seems to have worked like that in...
