- | [[https://smartcontractes.blogspot.com/2022/04/TS03-Smartwatch.html|HAOQIN TS03 Smart Watch design]] | + | ====== Android 11 Migration ====== |
- | let's talk about the design a little bit. The TS03 watch has a rather conventional design, which is something that many smartwatch makers | + | |
+ | From November 2021, all apps updated on Google Play must target at least Android 11. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== What does this mean for WatchMaker? ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Up until now, WatchMaker saved all watch files and images into legacy storage (/sdcard/BeautifulWatches). | ||
+ | |||
+ | Legacy storage (/sdcard/<app-name>) will not be readable by apps from November 2021 onwards (except File Managers). | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Therefore WatchMaker 7.2.0 will migrate all of your watch and image files automatically from legacy to scoped storage next time you launch the app.** | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Please do not shut the WatchMaker app during the migration.** | ||
+ | |||
+ | After the migration | ||
+ | |||
+ | A similar process will happen on your Wear OS watch next time you launch the app on your watch. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can still see the WatchMaker application files in scoped storage (path may be something | ||
+ | |||
+ | In addition, imported fonts and watches must now be selecting using the Android 11 file picker. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== What does this mean for me? ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | You are advised to update to WatchMaker 7.2.0 before November so that your files can be migrated smoothly. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you skip versions and wait for WatchMaker 7.2.1 the migration will force you to select migration folders manually and will take much longer to complete as updates released after November will no longer | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Troubleshooting ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | If the migration does not complete successfully this could be because you do not have enough free space on your device. For example if you have 3 GB of files to migrate you will need an extra 3 GB of space during the migration. After the migration completes, the old files will be removed | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Manual Migration ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you are still unable to migrate the files using the WatchMaker app, you are recommended | ||
+ | |||
+ | From: / | ||
+ | |||
+ | To: / | ||
+ | |||
+ | You are recommended | ||
+ | |||
+ | e.g. mv / | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Timeline ===== | ||
+ | * Sep 20th : WatchMaker 7.2.0 released to limited beta | ||
+ | * Sep 30th : WatchMaker 7.2.0 released to full beta | ||
+ | * Oct 5th : WatchMaker 7.2.0 begins staged rollout | ||
+ | * Oct 11th (approx) : WatchMaker 7.2.0 begins full rollout | ||
+ | * Nov 15th (approx) : WatchMaker 7.2.1 update no longer has access to legacy storage | ||
+ | |||
+ | You are therefore advised to update to WatchMaker 7.2.0 during October / early November in order to migrate your files smoothly (should only take a few seconds). |
