Mac OS Unable to install app on simulator

[marke951]

The simulator is logged in.  Device and Companion bridges are green.

Build comes back clean.

I get the following whey trying "fitbit$ connect device" or "fitbit$ install".

fitbit$ connect device

An error was encountered when loading the list of available device hosts: You must be enrolled as a developer to use this application.

fitbit$ install

No app package specified. Reloading ./build/app.fba.

App requires a device, connecting...

I'm sure it's a simple config issue but I have not found an answer on this site.

FYI: I am logged into dev.fitbit.com.  I guess that means I have registered as a developer.

See if 'Using a Fitbit OS Device' here helps.

I finally got back to this.  Turns out I was not registered as a developer.  I had to open "Gallery Admin" in order to register as a developer.  Now the simulator works.  I had skipped that step because I was using the simulator and not a Fitbit OS Device.  Thanks for the suggestion.

I ran into the same issue on macOS while trying to install an app on the Fitbit simulator. What worked for me was updating to the latest version of Xcode and making sure all dependencies were properly installed. If you’re developing on a Mac, it's also a good idea to optimize your workflow with the right tools. For example, I found this list of the best writing apps for Mac https://setapp.com/app-reviews/best-writing-apps-for-mac helpful for organizing notes and managing tasks. Once I got everything updated, the app installed without any problems. Hopefully, that helps!
