Will request to see what can be done about documentation.

Toybox.Position.getInfo() call causes Error: Symbol Not Found Error on fēnix 5X / tactix Charlie

Hello,

I have this code which is run in a watchface onUpdate():

using Toybox.Position as Posn;

var posnInfo = Posn.getInfo();

which is causing an error on a tactix® Charlie watch ( but not the simulator) 

Error: Symbol Not Found Error
Details: "Could not find symbol 'getInfo'"
Time: 2021-06-18T04:50:17Z
Part-Number: 006-B2604-00
Firmware-Version: '22.20'
Language-Code: eng
ConnectIQ-Version: 4.0.3

Positioning Permission is turned on in the manifest.xml.

Now, the API documentation says that the call is supported on fēnix® 5X / tactix® Charlie and doesn't say that it can return null.

What's happening here?  Can it be uncallable when the watchface starts up and then be OK later?

Is it a documentation error?

    OK. I resolved it by using ActivityInfo.  I would have to say that this is a documentation error.

    I get quite a few situations where customers report a problem that doesn't happen on the simulator.

    I guess in general the Simulator is not running the code of the actual device, but an emulation of it.  Is that a correct statement?
