Hi @kel1594354206,

Try following steps, it may help

  1. First, keep backup of your all .gwd files (not .tpk files or others) from \GearWatchDesigner\workspace directory into another directory.
  2. Remove everything from \GearWatchDesigner\workspace directory and restart your computer .
  3. Now, copy all your backup .gwd files and paste them into \GearWatchDesigner\workspace directory.
  4. If an older version of this watch face is installed on your watch then uninstall it.
  5. Start GWS and try to build your project and Run On Device.

Let me know if it works.

Hi Kel,

Can you build and install one of the GWS example watch faces?
If not then did you accept the RSA Encryption Key when you first tried to install a watch face on your watch.
There is a lot of problems with connecting on Catalina as the RSA Encryption Key permission does not last very long.
We can help you with if that is the issue.

I have tried the sample faces i get the same error
yes i did get the RSA Key hen i connected through Tizen
when i connect with Tizen it goes to about 80% then i get the error

and i have tried for days to connect just over wifi
restarted Mac
phone and watch many times
debugging is on
i have no other watch faces on the Active 2 just stock ones

I think you accidentally hit the x instead of the check mark for the RSA key. It will never ask again if you do.

in the User account folder there is a hidden folder .tizen and in it are two files sdbkey and sdbkey.pub. rename those and then try to connect via Tizen Studio Device manager. Be sure your watch is on a factory installed watch face and you are keeping it alive and select the check mark. You do not need to select the don’t show again but it won’t hurt if you do.

Let us know if that works.

Then using GWS put your IP address in the dialog box and connect and see it it then completes the .tpk install.

It should work with GWS 2.0 but if you have it working I’d keep using 1.8.1.
