Watchface Crashes, but Sim and Preview are Working

Hi everyone,

I'm having an issue where my generated Watchface is crashing, but both SIM and the WatchfacePreview work like a charm.

Source Code (incl .prg) here:

https://github.com/r-neuschulz/HeartsDesire

Tested on Garmin Epix Pro 2 (Gen 2).

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Build the Project
  2. Load .prg file to Device
  3. Observe how the watchface defaults to a standard watchface, but the preview looks correct (like in the SIM).

    Thanks for the link! (And for the hint to uninstall before new sideloading).

    I placed some strategic println calls, and my findings are:

    In the preview, it successfully goes from the constructor initialize() -> onLayout() -> onUpdate()
    However, once i start the watchface it finishes the constructor initialize(), but then nothing. From what I see, onUpdate() isn't even being called, it crashes before. Without CIQ_LOG.

    Interesting too: the analog watch indicator of the default watchface (provided by garmin) vanishes, after my app crashed. Weird.

    It's not common, but there have been cases where something corrupts something else.  Try rebooting your watch.  Press and hold the upper left button for 15-20 seconds and the watch will turn itself off.  Then turn it back on.
