SDK bug in loading properties

Hello,

I have a boolean-property which stopped working, i.e. its value upon invoking

Toybox.Application.Properties.getValue("somePropertyKey")

is 'true' regardless of whether it is set to true/false in properties.xml;

Since it used to work I have changed SDK and found out it worked properly with older SDKs,
i.e. leaving code+properties intact (w/ the prop set to 'false'),
and only changing the SDK being used to compile/run, then compiling+running yield the following results:

  • connectiq-sdk-mac-4.1.1-2022-03-14-18db583bc: Properties.getValue return false, i.e. as expected
  • connectiq-sdk-mac-4.1.2-2022-04-07-15e8df3ed: Properties.getValue return false, i.e. as expected
  • connectiq-sdk-mac-4.1.3-2022-05-10-b3aaee541: Properties.getValue return TRUE instead of false
  • connectiq-sdk-mac-4.1.4-2022-06-07-f86da2dee: Properties.getValue return TRUE instead of false
  • connectiq-sdk-mac-4.1.5-2022-08-03-6e17bf167: Properties.getValue return TRUE instead of false
  • connectiq-sdk-mac-4.2.0.beta1-2022-10-11-bff57b73c: 'make' fails w/ 'Error 100' and does not provide any further details

Unless I am missing something, this is a bug, which might also be related to:

    I built+run the sim, and the sim showed what it needs to show when the boolean is set to 'true'; but the default-value in the properties for that boolean was 'false';

    I have then added traces to print what value is retrieved by Toybox.Application.Properties.getValue("somePropertyKey"), and the value was 'true';

    I have then left the code+properties intact, and switched SDK + compile + run and got the results listed above.

    I am therefore assuming this is an SDK issue rather than a sim issue.

    I am not sure how to explain how it works for  - perhaps he uses some old caching i.e. my build script is set to delete the temporary folder the sim (I think) creates whenever it is launched
