Error when debug on versa 2

[Leix]

Hi,

I am trying to debug a minimal project on my new versa 2 but I got this error :

[20:12:35]Sideload of app failed. App was built for Fitbit Versa, but connected device only supports mira applications.

I tried to restart/factory reset without success... Any idea ?

The current release of the SDK doesn't support Versa 2 (mira) yet. Your best bet for the time being is to develop for Versa (meson) and test using simulator.

[Leix]

Is there a way to publish my app on my watch to test it after development without making it available on the store ?

[Gondwana]

No. You need access to SDK version 4, which hasn't been released yet.

Thanks for your answer

Even we can't use fitbit studio, v4 of sdk is available on npm (npm i @Fitbit/sdk@next)

After that, you need to add new target "mira" and voila

You can start coding and update it when v4 will be stable

Hi Leix, can you please explain the process?

What is npm? How do I access it?

[Leix]

1. Install node:   https://nodejs.org/en/

2. Start CMD and create new fitbit app : npx create-fitbit-app <project-name>

3. Update sdk & cli :

    - npm i @Fitbit/sdk@next

    - npm i @Fitbit/sdk-cli@next  

4. Use fitbit CLI : npx fitbit

5. Connect your phone : connect phone

6. Connect your watch : connect device

7. build your project : build

8. install your app: install

Procedure is here : https://dev.fitbit.com/build/guides/command-line-interface/

Note that step 3 is not described because its' not stable version of sdk

NPM is node's package manager. Used by fitbit to share their sdk : https://www.npmjs.com/package/@fitbit/sdk

feel free to ask questions !

Thank you so much Leix!!!

Appreciate your help.

Please do not publish apps built with the pre-release SDK. We won't accept any submissions for Versa 2 until SDK 4.0 has been officially released.

How is possible then that several clockfaces are available for Versa 2?

Fitbit has done one or two sweeps through the gallery and flagged many apps as being compatible with Versa 2. They were not originally submitted that way.

[Giampi71]

Well it seems not very fair.
