Since I'm identified as the app owner, Garmin grants me full access to my own apps, so I can't test the actual purchase flow myself. Would anyone with a Venu 4 (or compatible device with Garmin Pay set up) be willing to try purchasing one of my watch faces and confirm that: 1. The price is displayed correctly before download 2. The payment screen appears properly 3. After purchase, the premium features unlock correctly The watch faces are free to browse: - FLEUR.liseron (free) - Fleur.wild (paid — €3.49) - Lumen Neon Gods (freemium — free download, premium variants €2.99) - Lumen Gang (freemium — free download, premium variants €2.99) Store: https://apps.garmin.com — search "FYRO Studio" Happy to return the favor and test your apps in exchange!

It's a bit more complex than may first appear, when it comes to things like version numbers. "what's new", pictures, etc.. Setting up the automation each time would likely take as long, or longer, than the current process. You'll also find that once an app is stable, you really don't update that often - maybe once in a while to add a new device. Automation also means catching/handling any possible error. Things you'll see if doing it manually. Sometimes the app store is down for example, or there are network issues. Using beta apps is also handy if you test on more than one device. Update the store, and the app is available on all your devices. I have a number of devices I regularly test with, for example.https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/i/bug-reports/starting-with-sdk-9-1-ftp-and-power-zones-can-be-read-directly-from-the-device-but-not-in-the-simulatorFri, 12 Jun 2026 10:30:00 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:1daf613e-a5d7-42ee-895e-3a440e755872mcinner1…because, unlike heart rate zones, there is no option in the user profile to define FTP and power zones.https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/f/showcase/437606/oh-my-wrist-real-time-developer-workflow-alerts-on-garmin-watches/2037719Fri, 12 Jun 2026 06:49:00 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:7bc5751a-a60f-43dc-a919-16936a3a2a96DuckersThis is brilliant!https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/f/discussion/437771/feature-request-updated-simulator/2037718Fri, 12 Jun 2026 06:39:00 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:6feb199e-093e-4801-87f6-4d637e853cf6andrewMYeah, it still doesn't fix manual uploads and reinstalls huge time overhead, does it?

You can directly observe its dynamic holographic projection right in the center of the screen. 31 Tactical Data Slots: Customize your modular data layout based on operational needs. Supports flexible assignment for 31 distinct metrics, keeping you fully informed in any combat theater: Biometrics: Real-time Heart Rate, Body Battery, Stress Level, Pulse Ox, Respiration Rate, and more. Activity Metrics: Steps, Calories Burned, Active Minutes, Distance, Weekly Intensity, and more. Environment & Navigation: Temperature, Altimeter, Sunrise/Sunset, Wind Speed, and more. System Status: Device Battery, Solar Intensity, Notification, Connection Status, and more. Dual Power Threshold Red Alert: The X-Chip features independent energy-monitoring logic, allowing you to bind it freely to either "Device Battery" or "Body Battery." The moment any power metric drops below the safety threshold, the core will instantly trigger a "Red Alert Light Effect" to remind you to recharge. Dual-Layer Terminal Architecture (Two-Way Touch Toggle): Long-press the virtual X-Chip hologram to instantly override authorization and dive into the second-layer Darknet Architecture for deep-dive metrics. In the secondary interface, simply long-press the "Energy Waveform" at the bottom to seamlessly jump back to the primary core control panel. Primary Big Number Matrix: The center of the secondary interface is equipped with a massive digital viewport designed to lock onto the most critical indicator for your current mission, allowing you to assess the grid at a single glance. Real-Time Energy Waveform: Located right below the primary digital display, this dynamic pulse wave transcribes the real-time fluctuations of your device or physiological energy. Visualizing your physical limits through data streams helps you lock down control in high-pressure scenarios and complete missions with high efficiency! [SUPPLY LOGISTICS & AUTHORIZATION] 24-Hour Free Tactical Evaluation: Upon initial deployment, you are granted a 24-hour full-access trial to stress-test the X-Chip's capabilities in the field.

I am developing a Connect IQ / Monkey C application on a Garmin fēnix 7. The application connects directly to a GoPro using Bluetooth Low Energy. The GoPro exposes the Open GoPro BLE service: Service UUID: 0000fea6-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb Query Write characteristic: b5f90076-aa8d-11e3-9046-0002a5d5c51b Query Response characteristic: b5f90077-aa8d-11e3-9046-0002a5d5c51b The application can successfully: scan and find the GoPro, connect using BluetoothLowEnergy.pairDevice(scanResult) , discover the FEA6 service, find GP-0076 and GP-0077, enable notifications on GP-0077, write to GP-0076 using WRITE_TYPE_WITH_RESPONSE . However, the write to GP-0076 fails with status 18 , which appears to mean insufficient authentication. The Garmin device also shows that the app is using an “OPEN connection”, described as not encrypted and not authenticated. This seems to be the root problem: the GoPro requires an authenticated/encrypted BLE connection for this characteristic, but the Connect IQ app only gets an open connection. I tried the documented bonding/security options: BluetoothLowEnergy.setConnectionStrategy(BluetoothLowEnergy.CONNECTION_STRATEGY_SECURE_PAIR_BOND) When called before scanning/pairing, the application crashes before the Garmin BLE permission prompt appears. Crash details: Device: fēnix 7 Part Number: 006-B3906-00 Firmware Version: 26.09 Connect IQ Version: 6.0.2 Error: System Error Details: Failed invoking Time: 2026-06-11T08:04:50Z Stack: pc: 0x1000191e pc: 0x10002360 pc: 0x10003a21 Device.requestBond() When called after the BLE connection is established, the app remains stuck waiting. onEncryptionStatus() is not called, and the GoPro does not become usable as an authenticated BLE peripheral. The result is: default/open connection works but GP-0076 write fails with authentication error 18 ; requestBond() does not complete; setConnectionStrategy(CONNECTION_STRATEGY_SECURE_PAIR_BOND) crashes the app on the fēnix 7. Could you please confirm: Is BluetoothLowEnergy.setConnectionStrategy() supported on fēnix 7 with firmware 26.09 / Connect IQ 6.0.2? If not, what is the supported way for a Connect IQ app on fēnix 7 to establish an encrypted/authenticated BLE connection to a peripheral? Is Device.requestBond() expected to trigger onEncryptionStatus() on fēnix 7? Is there any current limitation preventing Connect IQ apps from using authenticated GATT characteristics on fēnix 7? This looks less like a GoPro protocol issue and more like a Connect IQ BLE security/bonding issue, because the app reaches the characteristic correctly and the failure occurs at the GATT authentication level.

New stuff: - Long-press on any widget/data will open its native Garmin glance - Swappable 24h chart: HR, and newly added Stress, Body Battery, Elevation - 6 new widgets: Stress ring, Pulse Ox ring, Weekly Run, Weekly Bike, Resting HR, and Notifications - New theme: Monolith (grey/white on black) - Swappable top header and bottom footer - Connect IQ settings now match the on-watch customization Next in v1.3+ updates: extended weather widgets, race predictors, respiration, a big-clock layout, and many more, alongside polishing and overall improvements. Also fixed since v1.1.1/2 - the World clock for daylight saving - overall UI cleanup: clock sizing, spacing and rendering across devices, especially the compact screens The price is $3.99 one-time (Exact price in your local currency may vary slightly depending on your region and VAT).
