Cannot run the template app in the simulator (SDK 4.1.7)

That workaround did not work. I have had success building from the command line using a makefile per a commenter in the linked issue.

However, now the app crashes immediately on startup:

Error: Symbol Not Found Error
Details: Failed invoking <symbol>
Stack:
  - setText() at 704b03c0.mb:5112 0x3000469c

Encountered an app crash.

I don't know that this should be considered a duplicate of the issue you linked. In that issue, the user is able to try multiple times until it works, where in my issue it never works. Also, that issue is marked as "Ticket resolved with 4.0.7".

Usually it's better to search first for similar tickets and comment on them than opening new ones: https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/i/bug-reports/run-app-fails-with-timeout

workaround:

reset all app data

delete all apps

reset simulator

close simulator

You don't need all of these, you'll probably know after a few cases which one really works for you

I'm having this very frustrating problem rn, and the only workaround for me is to keep trying until it succeeds. Sometimes I think it helps to close the sim between tries, but I have no idea what really works.
