bug: onActive not called in simulator

I don't have any real device that is supposed to support onActive/onInactive, so I can't test on real device, but in simulator (i.e: enduro3) in SDK 8.1.0 onActive is not called. Interestingly onInactive is called: using Toybox.Application as App;...

When app type is "widget" (in manifest.xml) and getGlanceView() is not overridden, compiler should either automatically provide default glance view for CIQ 4+ devices, for max portability, or warn dev that there is no glance view

Background: CIQ 2 (and lower devices) such as FR235 only supported full-screen widgets and not glances. CIQ 3 devices such FR945: - still have a distinct "widget" app type (both in manifest.xml and in compilation output) - allow widgets to run...

AppBase.getGlanceView() docs claim if null is returned, "the app name will be used as preview content"; in sim: no glance view is provided at all; on real CIQ 4+ devices, glance shows launcher icon and nothing else (no app name)

It's known that *widget* builds targeting Instinct 2 (Fenix 6?) like devices run in "glance mode" ( https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/core-topics/glances/ ). With Connect IQ SDK 8.1.0 it's no longer the case, at least with my project ( https:/...

Error: Symbol Not Found Error Details: Could not find symbol 'size' According to the documentation ByteArray.size is present since API Level 3.0.0 and no mention of devices, so it looks like it should be available on fr245, that in the simulator...

If return value of Properties.getValue() is used as switch expression, a confusing error is returned: "Permission 'BluetoothLowEnergy' required for '$.Toybox.BluetoothLowEnergy.ScanResult.equals'."

It's understood that the reason for this error is: - Properties.getValue() returns a PropertyValueType, which is: Application.PropertyKeyType or Lang.Array<Application.PropertyValueType> or Lang.Dictionary<Application.PropertyKeyType, Application.PropertyValueType...

bug: compiler uses module instead of local enum value

This code doesn't work in SDK 8.1.0: The problem is that it thinks that Menu is WatchUi.Menu. This causes a compilation error (at least with typecheck set to strict) because I want to assign something that is not an Action to action. This is relatively...

switch expression value cannot be null, but presence of compiler warning/error depends on type-check level and whether value is certain to be null

- 1 Comment
Background: The value of a switch expression (call it x ) cannot be null, because x.equals() is used to compare x to the case values. If x is null, this will result in a crash at runtime. Observed behaviour: The behaviour of the type checker in...
