Mobile SDK not working after latest Garmin Connect Android app update

Hi, reportedly with latest Garmin Connect update, Mobile SDK on Android is broken.

- It is unable to open the app with openApplication method

- it gets all the time app status UNKNOWN

- is unable to open CIQ app store page

- seems like no message can go through from Garmin to Android.. 

If confirmed, please share more details about it and expected resolution time-frame. 

Thanks

    For those wondering about a workaround, this simplified approach seems to work as suggested by 6023229:

    IQApp app = new IQApp(APP_ID);
    listenForAppEvents(app, device);

    instead of

    mConnectIQ.getApplicationInfo(APP_ID, device, new ConnectIQ.IQApplicationInfoListener() {
        @Override
        public void onApplicationInfoReceived( IQApp app ) {
            listenForAppEvents(app, device);
        }
    });

    I never understand, why it is such problem for Garmin team to write such status also there..

    I have received confirmation from Garmin that they are aware of the problem and are working on a fix in the next version of Garmin Connect. Until then, 6023229's suggestion looks interesting - we'll be giving that a go.

    You can initialise the IQApp instance using the app id directly and skip checking whether it is installed and catch the exception elsewhere. But that is very dirty.

    We are experiencing this issue as well with the latest 4.36.3. Has anyone found a workaround for this besides downgrading the Garmin Connect app?
