I installed @Fitbit/sdk 4.3.0 and the associated CLI, however using this command
npx create-fitbit-app <project-name>
creates a fitbit project for the latest SDK even though I'm only developing for the 4.3.0.
How can I properly create a app on 4.3.0 using CLI
PS. Yes I know you can use Fitbit Studio to create it, but that won't support SDK 4.3.0 soon, so I'm ignoring answers that require the fitbit studio

You can use an optional argument to create-fitbit-app to specify the SDK version: see here. I'm not sure of the exact syntax required for <alternative-package>.
Or, create an app for the default SDK and adapt it.
Or, don't use create-fitbit-app and create/install the files manually.

The command to create for 4.3.0 is
npx create-fitbit-app <project-name> --sdk-version 4.3.0
Thank you

There seems to be problems with builds using 4.3.0 in Studio, so probably in CLI as well.
There may be a bug with the introduction of the SDK 6.0 release, as it seems to generate larger and incorrect code using 4.3.0.
Having considerably trimmed an existing project it still exceeds memory whereas the original loaded fine [built with 4.2.0].
So it looks like development for pre Versa 2 watches has ended already!

Fair enough, shouldn't take long, just another SDK 4.3.1 and probably a Fitbit os update
