Settings template app

[tonyf1]

Hi

the "settings" template at https://studio.fitbit.com/projects/create

It doesn't seem to do much, the screen on my watch goes white but I was expecting something like my companion phone being able to control the watch colour. I think I am missing something. The console looks ok (below). Any help gratefully received

I have run this successfully now on the simulator and the companion launches. When I run on my Galaxy S9 and Versa3, the companion does not seem to run, I can't find it anywhere on the phone and there is no error message.

The companion doesn't have a user interface of its own. You're probably looking for the project's 'Settings', which are in the developer section of the Fitbit app (assuming you're side-loading via the developer bridge). The project name may not initially be listed as installed; swiping down should refresh the list of installed side-loaded projects.

companion as on the simulatorThanks Gondwana for the reply. Yes I am side loading. Within the Fitbit app, starting at the deepest level, I can find a page of logs, a page with the Settings App's Name, UIID, Build, Status and Settings, the Developer Menu with the bridge and side loaded Apps (which includes the Settings App), the Versa 3 page, the Account page and the Home page but nothing that gives me control of the colour of the watch. A screenshot of the companion on the simulator attached, this is presumably what I am looking for.
