Watch Face Studio 1.6.10 now available

here is one of my updates.

When you building an aab package, there is a dialog window where you need to choose the key and passwords

@Yuan25

So, did you manage to get your Google Play account back?

yes. Google accepted my appeal which is due to the false positive. : )
All app was removed. From the email, I can reinstated all the apps by make a small change n resubmit.
But 99% of my apps with companion app.
After read the policy, I plan not to include companion app.
I donā€™t know how to remove companion app which already reviewed.
So I get back 1 app which is without companion app and update with WFS 1.6.10, it already beed reviewed with no issue, but the warning still remain thereā€¦

I formatted the my PC, the keystore path of the abb files before the format and the keystore path after the format are different.
When updating and installing the abb files before the format with SDK33, it gives this key error.

If you do not have ā€œoriginalā€ key - you canā€™t update app/WF.
You can request from Google to reset key, I did not use that option, but I am sure that it is complicated.

Google for details.

Anyone faced issues opening one of the old projects and the font does not renderā€¦?
The watch face fonts renders on actual watch or emulator but they do not render in watch face studioā€¦

I did open a topic but thought it was missed or misunderstood so I am asking here, if i get an answer Iā€™ll update my topic at Back to font rendering problem in watch face studio!

Any help or insight is highly appreciatedā€¦

Hi,
I know this problem with fonts and with images.

Solution:
Images - just swap image with this same image from your PC
Fonts - take your font file e.g. MyFont1.ttf copy to another folder, change name e.g MyFont2.ttf and add to WFS - then switch all elements for this new font

Why it happends:
Iā€™ve noticed that when I have opened watch face in WFS for long time and I dont edit or do whatever with that watch faceā€¦ after a some time my fonts and images in watch face become broken. No clue whyā€¦

Hope that will help :slight_smile:

Update on the, well, update : i figured out the issue. in order for that policy message to go away, both testing and production builds has to be on the target sdk 33+. i didnā€™t realize earlier that for ones in production i have to update the ones in their testing track too.

Perhaps disabling the tack all together would help, though i have not tried that.

Just putting this out there in case someone else faced a similar issue

Cheers

Yup I had the same issue and didnā€™t realize you have to update all tracks in your App. Learning through attritionā€¦

I fixed it, it was the windows username folder, my username has a ā€œ.ā€ and several ā€œspacesā€, renaming my windows username folder allowed everything to render in Watch face studio, now I swear it was never a problem before, so I am thinking in one of the updates, it started to not handle special characters in usernameā€¦
