I’ve been through various posts about the end of Fitbit Studio and I’ve followed all of the guide and posts to install the SDKs via CLI. I’ve gotten to the point where the guide discusses the Developer Bridge (my device is a Versa Lite). I’ve accepted the terms and have registered as a Fitbit Dev just fine. However, the guide talks about some Developer menu and Developer Bridge menu on the device yet I cannot locate such menus anywhere in the Fitbit app or on the watch. What am I missing here? All I can find is a GitHub project called Developer Bridge. Am I supposed to install those goods to enable this “bridge”. Also they talk about enabling WiFi? Doesn’t my watch just use a Bluetooth radio to communicate to the phone? I’d volunteer to update the guide if most of the instructions don’t support the method I would need to employ. Maybe my device is too old to tinker with? Thank you. Dan

If my memory is correct, Versa Lite doesn't have WiFi but the Fitbit developer bridge requires WiFi (and not bluetooth). All other Fitbit smart watches had WiFi so it wasn't an issue for those.
No, you don't need to install that GitHub project.
You may be able to proceed by using the Fitbit Simulator for quicker testing, then upload a build to your GAM page and install it on your watch using the private link there.

Ok, I’ll give that a try! Thanks much.
