In CloudPebble, there is a setting for App Visibility:
What does "Only Visible When Companion App Running" mean exactly? Does it mean when the iOS/Android companion app isn't running, then the Pebble watchapp doesn't show up in the app list on the Pebble?
I tried to look for information on the App Metadata docs page, https://developer.pebble.com/guides/pebble-apps/app-structure/app-metadata/, but it's broken...
I tried the setting on a watchapp I have that has an iOS companion app, and the setting doesn't seem to do anything at all. When I forcequit my iOS app, the watchapp is still listed in the Pebble app list.
This metadata item causes the watch app to be hidden when the phone app can't communicated with the watch, and to be shown when it can. The reason it stays open is because apps that use the new PebbleKit on iOS are allowed to continue communicating over BLE, even when force closed.

I have a Xamarin.Forms Android app on the Google Play store. An overwhelming amount of users are leaving 1 star app reviews of my app saying that the app is "Freezing." They say that nothing happens when they click on a button in the apps UI. I have made doubly sure that no processes are running on the UI Thread that might hold up the UI. I have not been able to recreate this "Freezing" behavior personally. There are also no crash or ANR reports in the Google Play Console (at least not enough to make up for the amount of negative reviews I'm receiving). Has anyone else faced this problem?
Useful Info:
Xamarin.Forms Version: 4.8.0.1560
There is no discrimination between the Freezing behavior and users' Android API Version
The issue is not happening (or is not being reported) on the iOS app.
Do you have a physical Android device to deploy to? Take the apk and side load it, or download from the store, don't use VS to deploy the app on your device.
I had a similar issue and it was the code shrinker in VS. The released version with the code shrinker enabled, caused the app to freeze immediately after the splash screen.
You can disable it by selecting 'nothing' in the code shrinker box in VS.
I currently use App.Current.Properties dictionary to save some basic data needed for the app to connect to a database.
Unfortunately, when building and reinstalling the app on the Android simulator (didn't tried on the iOS one), app data seems to be wiped, so every time I test the app I've to re-enter connection info.
How can I avoid that?
Does it work if you start the app without redeploying it? If you just click the app icon on the emulator. If it does not you have propbarly forgot to call the save method.
Application.Current.SavePropertiesAsync();
Ive builded a watch application for OS 2.x, and i wanted to submit the watch app to the app store without the iOS application. how can i do that ? what targets do i need to remove and so i can send the watch app standalone app without iOS ?
Do i have to submit both of them and apple will decide to take the apple watch application without iOS app ?
i tried to remove iOS application from targets. then the app stopped running on simulator. and couldn't be archived.
You can't do it. A watchOS application doesn't currently exist without a corresponding iOS application. If you are only updating the watch app, you still have to resubmit the whole thing, and the version of the iOS app must be incremented as well.
I am downloading the Xcode from the app store to check how my websites will look on different devices. I know how to use the iOS simulator but for websites that are already online. Is there a way to check how a website looks like when i have it native on my mac? I mean when i am at the development stage of the website before put it online, is there a way to check it on the iOs simulator?
Thanks
The simulator contains a version of Safari that can access the outside world via your Mac's network connection. So you don't have to do anything — just type in the address as with any other browser.
You can also drag and drop local HTML content (or anything else the simulator's miniaturised suite of apps can handle) directly onto the simulator to preview without uploading anywhere.
I have a perfectly working (Pebble Classic) app on the Pebble app store. However, when installed on Pebble Time, the JS is not always executed (or takes too long to kick in) and in the logs I can see "[PHONE] pebble-app.js:?: notifyWithAppMessage: no delegate."
Is it Aplite compatibility issue or do I need to do something differently for Basalt platform. App is SDK2, thus compiled only for Aplite.
Note that the JS was not bundled in iOS app yet, so if you want to try it you must use Android app.

This should work. Please file a bug via the mobile app.
