Does Samsung review our posts to see they have an error in their software. I spent 20 years as an ERP Implementation Consultant. I know how to document and repeat an error when I see one.

Anyone have a solution in the mean time?

How can you even run the weather on smartwatch with WearOS 4 ?
I have Samsung GW 4 Classic and the Watch Face studio doesn’t allow to publish it because of the SDK version is 33, and it requires SDK 34 or higher, while on the Galaxy Ultra everything works fine.

Complications that provide some weather information can be used on any watch that is running WOS . The WFS Weather tags can only run on GW7 / Ultra or Pixel Watch 3 at this stage .

Thanks for clarifying… Will Samsung look into this issue?
What are some workarounds?
Are we able to identify what OS the Face is installed on?

If is not really Down to Samsung . Goggle came up with the OS. Samsung uses Google Software on thier wathes now .
