Ah well that sucks then. And not very convenient that Garmin don't update their support pages for this...

Not sure however if it will work or not.

Hi! It's great idea! If only it would work, one can use Edge/Garmin watch as well. It needs confirmation.

It can be done, we just need to build a library of popular apps here so additional supported units are not necessary.

Please see my post earlier in this thread.

I may sound like captain obvious, but have you contacted garmin support about it?
Wouldn't surprised me if they kinda "forgot" that these devices still have connectiq and needed updates.
kinda offtopic: is it of any help to share apps from other devices (like edge 1040 solar?).

The GPSrChive Connect IQ Archive is now Live!

Yesterday, I have updated Connect IQ Store app on my Android mobile.
Then I selected Oregon 700, installed a new app, then opened Garmin Connect app and voilà.

Now I have a new connect IQ application installed which was not previously possible on this device.

So It looks like Garmin fixed it!

On iOS it works too in the updated ConnectIQ app.
