Getting Started Guide Question

[fitfatpeople]

I've been trying to create, build and run the sample clock face from the developer getting started guide in the simulator but get an error that my account isn't a developer account.  I am finding no documentation on how to register my account as a developer account.  Does anyone have a pointer to this information?

Hi @ 

According to the Getting Started guide (https://dev.fitbit.com/getting-started/), it states "In order to gain access to the developer functionality, you must first login to Gallery Admin, and accept the Fitbit Platform Terms of Service."   Have you taken this step?

And, I'm going to move your post the SDK forum where the community developers will be able to assist.

Thanks for the response.  I didn't do the steps mentioned as they as listed under the Using a Fitbit OS Device section.  As I'm using the simulator I skipped that.  Maybe it would make sense to move the Gallery Admin and terms of service steps to the top of the Getting Started guide.

Next issue, what does this mean, I get this error inthe npx install step?  I'm just running through the Getting Started steps out of the box and not getting anywhere.

Sideloading app: starting...

Install failed: App was built for atlas and vulcan, but connected device only supports higgs applications.

I think the short anser is that you're using the wrong built targets in package.json, and possibly the wrong SDK, for the connected device (watch?).

Something here might help.

I finally got it working, but the out of the box, 0 to hello world experience of the developer Getting Started guide needs a complete overhaul.
