Ok, I give up.

For a while, the Loop was doing well at tracking, auto and manual. It detected sleep all by itself. Provided stats and data in the app. I thought maybe they turned a corner.

Then…it stopped. This thing has not recorded sleep for weeks. Doesn’t auto-detect anything. I’ve even had to forget/pair it a couple times.

Is it worth continuing to try anything else? I’m ready to chuck it.

Two questions:

1. Did you perform any testing on individuals who had previously undergone a heart transplant? In heart transplant recipients, the heart is fully denervated, including the vagus nerve.

2. What does the device measure, through what sensors, and what metrics are computed?

Anyone here an expert with Health Connection?

Honestly, I’ve about had it. The permissions schema is maddening. On Apple…this is a breeze. You ask for permissions through an entitlement, add the health data types, and you query. On Android…I cannot get the permissions to work no matter how I swizzle it. Now, I cannot bypass it, go into Health Connection, give my app permissions…it works. But doing it programmatically? Nope. Heck, I even turned the AIs loose on the problem; got no love.

I know Google requires devs to file a declaration and such to get into testing and production but surely that doesn’t apply to a hardline connected device, right?

For some reason, I do not understand, Google has decided to suspend my testing account. All the message said was that I could appeal and that it was suspended because I violated Google‘s policies with other people. I had only used it on three tests, two of which were my own, and it hadn’t been used for anything else!

This happened before I could join many other tests; so I’m not going to be able to honor any T4T agreements until this is sorted out. 😡

So… I have come to realize that this whole 12 testers for 14 days thing is for every app not just for your first app. I have several apps I’m starting to put together for android after having developed on Apple for over a year so this is a bit of an inconvenience. ☹️

It looks like there are groups of developers that offer reciprocal testing just to help each other out and that the preferred way to do this is with a link to a Google group. Right?

My current app in testing is called Sleep Friendly. It is a simple alarm clock and Weather app. I would appreciate any help getting it through the process.

The test group I have created is at…

https://groups.google.com/g/ddaptesters

And, of course, I will be more than happy to reciprocate just drop me a line.

Thanks!

I am admittedly, a bit discouraged. This whole 12 users for 14 days thing that Google has going on… It is practically impossible to find people to test apps!

My first app, it took me two weeks together, enough people. Now my second app, a simple alarm clock app with Weather, I’m several days in, and I have found one.

How do you guys find testers?

So…I’ve done Apple apps a bit over a year. I have several on the App Store. I finally got my development system set up so that I could code android apps as well. I uploaded my first one and was told that I needed to get a dozen people to test the app for 14 days before I can apply for production access. The documentation suggested this will be a one time thing. After a great deal of effort, I finally found enough people to participate in the test, applied for and received production access, and published my app.

Now I am working on my second app, uploaded it, and the system is telling me that I once again needed a dozen users to test it for 14 days.

Is this going to be the case for every single app that I upload? Finding people to test apps is not an easy thing to do; no one seems to want to do it. This could quite literally prevent me from publishing any of my apps on the Android platform.

Is there anyway around this? Are there groups where people download and test each other‘s apps that I could potentially reach out to?

So…I am in the fight of my life here with my Mac apps and window management.

One app that was previously released, sent up an update, and review keeps flagging it for breaking guidelines/rule 4. They send me a screenshot of what looks like oversized icons and tray and my app being cutoff. Now, I’ve reduced the size of everything, added scroll view, and manage max/min height and the such; they keep having issues. And, of course, I cannot make it happen on my Mac Mini or my MacBook Air no matter how hard I try. (Everything just works fine here for me on my equipment.)

Then I have another app that’s new where it keeps resizing itself on my MacBook Air. Never on my mini, just the laptop. To fix it, I just need to grab a corner and drag it a hair in any direction; everything pops right back in place.

I haven’t had these issues in the past so I am looking for some best practices/guidelines for managing windows on MacBook. Anyone have any resource suggestions? I’m not looking for code analysis or anything; just for some resources I can examine for best practices, see if I can figure out what I’m doing that has suddenly become an issue. Most of my work is with tablets and phones, so I’m sure it’s something simple I’m just not aware of with Macs.

Thnx….

Ok, is there ANY way to get a valid RSSI on iOS? Near as I can tell, this is an entitlement Apple keeps to themselves, leaving 3rd party devs with nothing but their bar scheme.
