How to add a new app

[spycat111]

Hi,

I want to add an app as the default after reboot, but as it is in the testing phase, it is not ready for publishing. How can I do that?

When it will be ready, how can the app be added to the list of apps?

Thank you!

Hi!

Have a look at the tutorials and the readme on the BangleApps repo.

E.g. start at this tutorial and continue by following the Next Steps listed at the bottom of that tutorial, etc.

The tutorials should be a bunch of help for that (specifically adding an app to the app loader) - there's no point copy/pasting it here.

But to make your app the default that's loaded after a reboot, it's best to just make it identify as a clock (info at https://www.espruino.com/Bangle.js+Clock#app-info-myclock-app-info) and either set it up as the default in the Bangle's settings, or just delete any other clock apps from the Bangle in which case it'll become the default anyway.
