Fix for Garmin Connect - January 2021

1/6/2021

11 Comments

 
 Yesterday the guys at Garmin made some changes to the login procedure, which broke my apps.

As I have anticipated in previous posts, I won't be able to push new versions to google play for the time being, so publishing the APK here will be the standard procedure from now on. Download the one you need (you only need one, depending on which of my apps you're using) here:

sportablet apk  << click to download from google drive

uploader for garmin apk  << click to download from google drive

Once downloaded, you'll have to install the app from the file manager (if you've never installed an app given the APK, there are many tutorials, like this: https://www.wikihow.tech/Install-APK-Files-on-Android). The APKs are signed with my developer key just like the ones from google play, so they will install over the old version just fine.

DO NOT uninstall the previous version as doing so you'll lose your license and you'll have to go through the activation procedure again, beginning with the version currently on google play.

If you still experience problems after the update, please check that you are actually running the latest version (this has been a frequent problem in the past). Open the android settings, then to apps, and check the version you have. If you're using sportablet, it should say 10.0. If you're using the uploader, it should say 8.9. If not, you're still using the old version, so maybe restart your device and install the apk again. Once more: do not uninstall the previous version.

If you're new to the app and you're just here to download a working APK, remember that to upload files to garmin connect using my app you should also:

- accept uploads from third parties on the garmin connect website (see this blog post)

- your password is probably ok by now, but it should also respect the stricter rules garmin has been enforcing for a while (see this blog post)

as I said in the post, go into the android settings and check the version of the app you have currently installed. If you're new to the app, make sure you have approved third party uploads on the garmin connect website.

I have updatede to 8.9 but still get the 'connection error'.
I have search trough Garmin Connct to find where to 'allow third party uploads', but I can't find it. I am conncted to MyFitnessPal and Strava, but I don't know if that means, that I also have allow third party upload.
Can you help?
