[lazarec]

Hello,
Firstly, I would like to thank you for your job. It looks on good tool for develeping garmin based apps.
However I got error during buid appliction. I installed plugin from repository and then created key. I got errors ( I changed paths in logs, I don't want to share my disk structure):

Thx @lazarec for reporting this issue! At least now I know it probably isn't just my setup.

I added the plugin to IDEA 2017.3.4, created a new project, setup the Connect SDK (v 2.4.2), selected my Developer Key, build and see the same issue you shared (Error:null), but with paths from my Mac OS 10.13.3, and Java SDK 1.8.0_162.

Sadness. I was hoping to avoid the frustrations of the Eclipse IDE. 😞

Yay! Woot! I got it to work ~5 min after posting that error log.

I updated the three areas:

• Project Structure -> Project Settings -> Modules -> Target Device : set as "Forerunner 235" & Target SDK 1.3.x.
• Run configuration - set device to Forerunner 235.
• Update manifest.xml q:product id="square_watch" to "f235"

At that point, compilation gave me a clue:

Error:fr235: Invalid device ID found in the manifest: f235
Error:Invalid device ID found.

Setting it back to "square_watch", fails, but setting to "fr235" - the proper ID, and it works!

I hope this helps others troubleshoot!

Glad you found a workaround.

I am sorry for being inactive with this project, but currently I am not really planning to continue.
