SDK FAQ

[Gondwana]

I've thrown together the start of a FAQ on SDK development: see here. Please let me know of any additions/corrections required. Bonus points if you can tell me me the answers, and not just the questions. 😉

I hope this is (or becomes) helpful to the SDK developer community.

Hey, I've got no questions and one answer 🙂 or a note to an answer. 

Regarding reliability of the Messaging API. We've just published version 1.1.0 of fitbit-asap library, which, apart from simplifying the messaging itself also features a reliability layer which resends the messages until an acknowledgment is returned from the peer, all under the hood. Check it out!

Thanks; I'll add a reference to that.

Wanna make one for file transfer?

Please?

[artaud]

I was under the impression that File Transfer API sends the content reliably.

Or do you mean just to simplify the API?

[Gondwana]

File Transfer is better, but still clogs up sometimes (even with just a couple of files in the queue). I've got extensive logs showing files that get enqueued but never get received. I believe your fitbit-asap collaborator has also experienced this.

I suggest putting the logs and code which exhibits the file transfer  behavior up somewhere like github and putting a link to the repo here.
