Hi all,
my app VirtualPartner works well on the Ionic. I implemented GPS functionality and expected that those functions work identically with the Versa when a GPS connection to the companion was established.
Obviously there are some problems. I didn't figure it out by now, but my app first encounters a GPS connection but then gets no location data.
I already found some posts which tell about those problems but didn't find a solution or a suggestions how to handle it.
Is anybody able to help?

Is it compiled for SDK2 and running on a Versa with Fitbit OS 2.2? That's the only version which supports the Device Geolocation API using connected gps for Versa.

ok - thanks for that.
I'm using the latest version of Fitbit studio - I suppose that's always the newest version because there are always auto updates. But I can't find any hint of versioning, but I guess it automatically uses the latest SDK. -- Can I check the SDK version in a compiled app after compiling?
My Versa shows version 32.32.10.15 - because I get no hint of a newer version in the Fitbit app I also suppose that's the newest version.
Because I don't know what was the SDK version exactly with which I built the latest VirtualPartner I'm going to compile it once more and give it a try.
I'll come back to you after that.

So I compiled a new version of the VirtualPartner with the newest Fitbit Studio and the version of my Versa is 32.32.10.15. But GPS tracking with the companion still isn't working.
Is there anything I can do?

You can factory reset your device to force Fitbit OS 2.2 to install. https://community.fitbit.com/t5/SDK-Development/An-important-update-about-the-rollout-of-Fitbit-OS-2...

Thanks @JonFitbit.
What''s the version number of the latest OS version, when I want to check it on the Versa?
And which version do I have to use minimal that companion GPS works with third party apps on the Versa?

The Fitbit OS 2.2 version number is x.32.12.19
The Geolocation Companion API can be used with any version, it's the Geolocation Device API which is new in Fitbit OS 2.2 for Versa.

A guy who wants to use my VirtualPartner with iPhone X and Versa has OS version 32.32.12.19. on the Versa.
I compiled the app about two weeks ago but it still doesn't work. The Versa can't use the GPS of the iPhone.
Has anybody some hints what I/we can do or check?

I'm not sure if this was answered, but did you verify in your package.json file that you are using SDK Version 2.0? This is specified in a drop-down list in this file and defaults to Version 1.0.

@Drifty26great hint - didn't notice that by now and can't remember that anybody else mentioned that.
Now I sent a build for review with SDK 2.0 and I'm curious it that works...
Thanks

@JonFitbit mentioned this in the first reply, but it wasn't explicit what needed to be changed.
Hopefully this will work.

That's right - but I didn't know that I had to select it in the package.json...
