Thanks for the suggestion. You can already achieve this using Fitbit Studio, or the CLI tools.

 

1. For Fitbit Studio, go to https://studio.fitbit.com/sideload connect to the sim or a real device, drop your fba file and install.

2. For the CLI, just connect to the sim or real device, then `install /path/to/your-file.fba`

@JonFitbitThanks Jon, really useful and it works, Impressive support environment Fitbit have developed.

 

Though a File | Open in the OS Simulator would be more intuitive and elegant, or even adding this Sideload option next to Screenshot in the Studio editor could be logical addition.
