Thanks for all the effort WFS team. I just hope the Weather issue displaying city name is fixed. Please confirm GW ultra users. Also to the devs, always make a backup of your app files from older WFS.
I tested and I guess we have to wait for Wear OS 5 to roll out in GW6, GW5 and GW4. Using this version will require devices that runs Wear OS 5 to load and test your app in a watch device. If someone successfully publish this in the Play Store using this new version, it might result to incompatibility with devices running Wear OS 4. @Jakia.Sultana @Boshra When will be the rollout of Wear OS 5 to other watch devices?
I can’t understand—is it true that if you update to the latest version of Watch Face Studio, there’s no way to release apps that will work on Wear OS 4?
Not right. According to the documentation, it must not be used:
- When selecting new types (Goal Progress, Weighted Element) , value of Min. SDK is 34=WearOS 5
- Add ‘Heart rate’ in Default Provider of Complication Settings. (Change in SDK 34)
- weather tags = SDK 34
If you do not use them, you can also publish for Wearos4 = SDK 33.
There were changes in complications Range Value. SDK 34 was used in version 1.7.9. In version 1.7.13 it is SDK 33.
Yesterday I publishmy new watchface, which was created on 1.7.13 and did not use SDK 34 components. It is for Wearos 4 and 5
I see. Thanks for the info.
I have just sent a Face I made on 1.7.9 to my GW5 Pro from a freshly downloaded 1.7.13 . No Issues Yet . The next test is to Compose something from scratch . I am a little confused to see that Seconds hand Sweep is now WOS5 . I will do a test and see .
