When writing apps, everyone makes mistakes. Sometimes a simple typo or omission can lead to all kinds of mysterious behavior or crashes. The guides in this section are aimed at trying to help developers identify and fix a variety of issues that can arise when writing C code (compile-time) or running the compiled app on Pebble (runtime).
There are also a few strategies outlined here, such as app logging and other
features of the pebble
Command Line Tool that
can indicate the source of a problem in the vast majority of cases.
Common Runtime Errors - Examples of commonly encountered runtime problems that cannot be detected at compile time and can usually be fixed by logical thought and experimentation.
Common Syntax Errors - Details of common problems encountered when writing C apps for Pebble, and how to resolve them.
Debugging with App Logs - How to use the app logs to debug problems with an app, as well as tips on interpreting common run time errors.
Debugging with GDB - How to use GDB to debug a Pebble app in the emulator.
