CIQ apps unable to download images with makeImageRequest when launched while a native activity is recording on CIQ 4.x devices

The bug seems to be limited to devices that support CIQ 4.x and above.  CIQ apps that make use of the makeImageRequest method are unable to receive an image download if the app is launched while a native activity is recording.  If the same app is called from the glance view or the app menu without an activity being recorded, the app is able to download and display images.  So far I have been able to reproduce this behavior on the following devices.

Edge 1040 FW Beta 18.15

Fenix 7, Beta FW 14.27

I have had reports on the same behavior with the Weather Radar App on Epix, Epix Pro and Edge 840 users.

Steps to reproduce on Edge or Watch device:

  1. Install Weather Radar App
  2. Start recording activity.  Walk, Run, Bike ride, etc
  3. Use hot key to enter widget loop or on edge return to home screen.
  4. Launch the radar app from the Glance view
  5. Radar app will hang indefinitely at the retrieving image screen.  Normal download is 10-20 seconds.  After 2-3 minutes exit the radar app.
  6. End the activity recording
  7. Launch radar app again from the Glance view.
  8. Map/radar Images will download and display on the device.

In my own testing I can see the image request making it to the server, but it acts like the callback method never gets called when an activity is being recorded in the background.
