I'm not sure it does for every minor version, but for major versions they seem to release in sync, and the firmwares are only available once you've upgraded the app.

At a complete guess though this might be because they're implementing new protocols (e.g. the speech thing, and now health), and once it's settled down maybe it'll be different.

When in doubt Use the source, Luke... ;-)
https://github.com/smokku/pebble/blo...irmware.cpp#L8

Pebble App gets the latest available firmware from http://pebblefw.s3.amazonaws.com/pebble/.../latest.json so it is always up to the latest version published by Pebble company. No magic in use there. When Pebble company pushes new firmware to AWS, pebbled will have it available. No sooner, no later.

(pebbled upgrade may be required only, when a new Pebble model hits the market - pebbled needs to know how is it codenamed and where to fetch its latest.json from.)

v2.8 seems to be out for the Pebble Time Steel, are you saying they have released it via their Android and iOS apps but not made it available on that server?

Looks like that only checks for v3 firmware if the hardware id starts with 'snowy_'. Are those the Pebble Times?

Hi guys,

I am not sue if you are aware of a project called RockWork that is a Pebble app for Ubuntu Touch. It's open source and almost hitting v1.0. Pebble is involved in that project so should work properly on all watches from original OG to the PTR.

I think that is the best source for documentation, etc.

Yup. It is a rewrite of pebbled. You can see that if you follow the codebase from revision 1. ;-)
As with a long tradition of Ubuntu apps it does not credit the authors of code being rewritten. ;-)

Nope.
The best source for Pebble documentation are official libpebble and libpebble2.

Nope.

I've been told by Pebble representative that some components in libpebble and libpebble2 are deprecated.

Anyway, I'll try your app on my Jolla Phone...

Looks like the string to the URL has to be 'release-v3.8' to pick up the latest releases, for all Pebble models. There's a migration firmware to install first though if you're below v3.0.0.

That is actually a tradition of most "app-store-first" platforms. I have plenty of experience here with the Nokia/Ovi store.... and "rewrite" is being too generous here.

That said, we cannot really compete with a full-time employee working on it. "Rewriting" it back from their version should be considered an option. For me at least it looks easier than writing a store UI.

They also removed support for the pre-3.0 firmware on the original models, btw.

Sadly no, their "documentation"/implementation is far from complete. Like every other smartwatch, I had to sniff their protocol out, otherwise I still wouldn't know how to upload a binary. Almost nothing of BlobDB is documented there.

The best source for documentation at this point is pebbled, and the fact that Ubuntu guys decided to rip it off entirely and even Pebble employees themselves are using parts of it now should be kind of proof...
