Versa Lite - App development?

[DrRobin]

Hi Fitbit,

Can you point me in the right direction for information developing apps (or porting apps from Versa) to run on Versa Lite?

E.g. is there any difference in screen size, memory, sensors?

As it only has one button what do you do if you use the other two buttons?

Hi @DrRobin, good to see you around.

I've moved your post to the SDK development forum. You should receive a better response to your question here.

We'll be publishing all of the relevant information on the developer website soon.

In summary:

• The screen dimensions are the same (300x300).
• You should check if a sensor exists before you use it.
• User activity `elevationGain` is not supported.
• Versa Lite (gemini) will be available as a build target.
• Combo buttons are unaffected, but right-side button events aren't available due to the lack of physical buttons.

Since there is no developer bridge for the Versa Lite, and we need to test apps through side-loading, what happens when we need to test an updated app? Once we upload a new .fba file, can we side-load it immediately with the same link in the GAM as before?

Thanks!

Replying to my own question -- You need to create a test app on the GAM, and change the App ID in the package.json file. Then you can upload it to the GAM, side-load it, and just never submit to publishing.

I have never seen this method of app management before.

And how do you do that?
