No "Developer Bridge" Option on Versa Lite

[zlangner]

Today I purchases a Versa Lite and have been trying to get a new clock face developed for it. The Getting Started guide says "On the watch, go to Settings and tap Developer Bridge" When I got to Settings there is no option for Developer Bridge. I did find this option in my phone and have it enabled but it does not exist on the watch. Please help.

Versa Lite can't operate with the developer bridge (I think because it doesn't have WiFi).

You can test apps on it by side-loading via your GAM page.

An update will be released for the simulator soon, which will support testing Versa Lite apps.

Thanks. That almost worked. Unfortunately, the link takes me into the app store and says "This clock cannot be installed on your device." It was built targeting Versa.

Yes, the currently-released SDK doesn't allow you to target the Lite yet. It will soon (sorry!).

That's really weird. There are clock face in the store right now that
aren't made by Fitbit that work with the Versa Lite. Any idea how that is
even possible if it's not in the SDK yet?

Fitbit has automatically scanned existing watch face source codes to see which call out to floors climbed, barometric pressure and physical button access. Those that don't are deemed to work on the Versa Lite.

I’m really looking forward to this simulator update! Any idea when we could expect it?

It was released a while ago. https://dev.fitbit.com/blog/2019-03-18-announcing-fitbit-os-sdk-3.1/

Oh, sorry, it was a misunderstanding - I've expected that the update will bring an ability to easily test on the real Versa Lite. Any chance to bring that?

[JonFitbit]

The device doesn't have wifi, so it's not likely.
