[BUG] Connect IQ apps are allowing incompatible apps to be installed

See this thread for details: https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/f/discussion/357669/complications-updatecomplication-crashes/1721706#1721706

The only reason I can think of that calls to the Complications API would crash is if the installation apps like Connect IQ and possible Garmin Express are allowing apps that call this API to be installed on older FW.

The summary of that thread is that I saw 100's of crashes on devices with old FW that should have not had my app installed.  For example, many crashes from:

fēnix® 7X / tactix® 7 / quatix® 7X Solar / EnduroTm 2: 9.37
epixTm (Gen 2) / quatix® 7 Sapphire: 8.45
epixTm (Gen 2) / quatix® 7 Sapphire: 7.48,

Yet, the manifest in the submitted (in October and built with SDK 4.2.3) IQ file has the following (specifying min fw of 14.31):

<iq:product complications="006-B3944-00/006-B3944-00-complications.json" connectIqVersion="4.2.3" filename="006-B3944-00/TidesWavesWindPro.prg" id="epix2" minFirmwareVersion="1431"

    I can have someone do some checking, but I'm very confident that the store won't install apps to devices that have firmware below the minimum required for an app. The minimum firmware is set in the device configuration, so is independent of the SDK (though the connect IQ version can also narrow down which devices the compiler builds for depending on the SDK version you set in the project).
