Simulator not changing setting, but keeps new settings as tmp file in TEMP folder

I am facing following behavior in the sim, any idea what can be causing this please ?

1.) Watchface starts OK in sim-> set files is created using default values from properties (Memory reports 74kB Memory peak and 380 objects peaks)
2.) Modifying settings using Connect IQ - App Settings editor in Eclipse
3.) Clicking Send Settings
4.) After some time new settings processing finishes, NO changes are reflected on watchface (Simulator reports Peak Memory 82.6kB and 569 peak objects)

In the file system TEMP directory where sim is pointed i can see new file  "temp_appsettings<multiple_random_digits>.tmp" has been created on same level as GARMIN folder, but set file has not been replaced with new data.
In rare occurrence new set file is created but has 0bytes size. Working SET file has 3.98kB

  • So your changes resulted in this. I see two ways to narrow it down. 1) start with what you have now and back out the changes one at a time until this doesn't happen. 2) start with what you had before and put in the changes one at a time until this occurs. Whatever is happening is far from typical/normal, as many apps do what you are trying to do.  I'd probably do #2 myself.
