Error running watchface from SashaCX75's editor in simulator

Should we be able to run a watchface generated using @SashaCX75's editor in the Simulator?

I ask because I keep getting an error message about "Please set at least one package".

Thanks,
Mark

If you set up the simulator correctly as zepp suggests, In the sciprt section by Sasha editor that manages the watchface, it can be displayed on the simulator without any problems, but if you look at the structure of the files before changing them you will see that it is different so you must to edit before use.
As Sasha mentioned in previous post, you can read more at the link below.

Thanks for the information. Do you know why the structure is different? Is one format "newer" than the other? Will both structures work fine on the watch itself? and, both structure work if I submit the watchface to the amazfitwatchfaces website?

I would look at the structure of the watchfaces at this link:
https://github.com/novvember/amazfit-watchfaces

The author's watchfaces will load properly in the simulator and I believe he uses the SashaCX75 editor. You need to define the device properly in the configuration files for the simulator to recognize it.

Took a quick look at several of those watchfaces. Yeah, they seem to use the same format as Zeus generates for the app.json file. Namely, it has a "targets" entry, whereas the one generated by SashaCS75 editor does not. I can go ahead and edit the app.json to that format to make it work with the simulator. I was just wondering why it generates the different layout. Wondering if one format is newer than the other.
