Swipe left behavior different between simulator and device

In the simulator, swipe left is usually not associated with any behavior, at least in the devices I have checked from the Fenix 7, Epix 2, Fenix 8 and Venu 3 series. However on my physical Epix Pro Gen 2 47mm, the swipe left triggers the onNextPage...

Since I installed SDK 8.1.0, the simulator sometimes resets the persisted data (like app settings) without cause. In this case I get the following message on the debug console: WARNING - persisted values reset due to settings redefinition. This...

Basically, while they seem to work, the rendering of the "side menu" as well as of the popup is messed up (with menu is quite annoying because it does *not* properly indicate the current selection). Please see the screenshots below (in comments) from...

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://github...
