I am trying to run the fitbit install command from inside visual studio code and am encountering the following error:
fitbit$ install
App requires a device, connecting...
An error was encountered when loading the list of available device hosts: You must be enrolled as a developer to use this application.
I have already built the app and am on the install part of the https://dev.fitbit.com/getting-started/ guide.
I registered as a developer over on https://dev.fitbit.com/ and can also log into my account at https://www.fitbit.com/.
I also installed the Fitbit Simulator and logged into the same account.
All I'm trying to do at this point is install the test app to the simulator device.
