Yeah, the real shame for Samsung and kinda funny is that:

The Samsung Sap library approach is recommended by them in their development guidelines and it is the only proper way to connect Watch <> Phone. And it doesn't work on some of their devices but what's more interresting is....

THEY ACTUALLY REJECT THE APP FROM THE STORE

... due to error with THEIR library which is compliant to their GUIDELINES.

How fcked up is that ?

Based on the knowledge I alread gained through all the verification process, reading their programming guides, reading source code of their library. Seeing the quality of their code. I WILL NEVER buy SAMSUNG again, seriously. I am saying this as a developer. Ignorance of their verification team, store support etc. I now know why there are none quality apps on their store and there will never be.

Almost every library wrote by Samsung is bugged, some more, some less, but all are bugged. You are never certain that using a specific library, you will succeed - for the app to work this way it works - there are already loads of workarounds. Actually, when using some of their classes you can be CERTAIN that there will be bugs. Almost nothing works as expected. Most of the classes are missing basic functionalities.

If you don't believe me - just check the log of vanilla watch (after reformating) its already full of errors. Even their

PRODUCTION

grade software, out of the box, is full of errors and bugs....

If somebody ever though Tizen to be as good as Android (or actually better for watches) - That ain't gonna happen. They DO want to be like Android, they TRY hard. Most of the logic, components, principals is actually COPIED from Android but badly. Tizen is, and will always be

LIGHYEARS

behind android. This is the truth.

First of all thank you for your hard work. I can really understand your frustration but please try to have some time to calm down and keep up this very good work, because there are only a few developers for this platform and you are one of them who are really give us new possibilities with these watches.

Yesterday I sideloaded the app (ver. 0.8.9) to my new Galaxy Watch and it works perfectly.

I hope you are going to continue the work.

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] GudduAmbi052829:
can anyone tell me in brief, from scratch, about the how to install the app in watch.

I already have the phone app configured, was waiting for beta app in galaxy store.

Please just guide me in short, how to get gassist on watch.

P.S.- I have Galaxy watch with One UI.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Cybernetic87:
Thanks for that input. Happy that it works for you :) Please test it as much as you can.

I wonder if somebody would like to take care of buglist, and where would be a good place to keep track on them so I can sit everyday, look at the buglist, fix some and give you new app version.

If somebody could take care of this list instead of me - would be very cool.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Dixon Butz:
I tested it for about 2-3 hours this AM EST. Works amazing! A few times it didn't respond. Only once did I get stuttering during a long response from Google. I could not reproduce the stutter after that. I tried by asking questions that had very long responses.

I saw the phone app crash 3-4 times. No biggie since the app restarts. So that crash is not even noticeable.

I didn't get any logs yet. I didn't wear my watch since I was painting.

I use Google Home all over my house. Almost 20 WiFi devices. 6 Google home devices in various flavors. This watch app is icing on the cake!

Gonna PM ya.

U ROCK!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] devilsden:
All good. I did not enable google assistant API.

The new debug app shoes this error and upon enabling, the app started working
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] sebas_tytn2:
well got thing installed on the watch and phone following all the steps, but its not working yet.

The app still needs a credentials file although this is copied to my phone in the folder "credential"

When the app is on installed on the phone it keeps the GAassist app popping up.

and i cant get the part with python to work (lack of knowledge..)

the website menstions to runun all of the commands on this page in a terminal on the device ... how?

anybody with some more detailed description for this?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Cybernetic87:
You do the python part on your PC.

Folder name should be exactly "Credentials".
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] sebas_tytn2:
Yes I understand it's on the PC, but I open up python, and then what?

When i use the commands it's says Syntax error
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Cybernetic87:
Version 0.1.1 is out.

I improved the stability of auto-reconnect/relaunch the phone app.

The ideal and my target is that the phone app should be completely invisible to user - just a service.

You should never worry about the app on the phone, just install it and forget that it exists - I hope we will achieve that :)

I moved the files to google drive so I can keep all the versions in one place now, a link is in the first post.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] minervino96:
I started testing the app 4 days ago. It is pretty responsive: I put it on the double tap home button and it always started without problems. The app on the phone gets called but stays in background, so won't disturb the task at hand. Moreover, it can understand simultaneously both Italian and English and reply subsequently. Great work!

Till now I haven't found particular bugs. I will now test the new version and update the feedback.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Dixon Butz:
Don't use python. Use a windows command prompt from the python dir.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] sebas_tytn2:
Allright, got it all installed. finally got the right credentials.json and copied it to the phone and the app (allready used 0.1.1) is starting up.

Also installed the new 0.1..1 signed tpk on the watch

now the Listen button is grey and the app says Disconnected. API is enabled.

Also sometimes the watch app does not start, but it is logging something every now and then.

And still the Phone app is popping up all the time as if the watch is calling it.

VCan only get that to stop if I uninstall the app in the watch...

any tips ?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Cybernetic87:
Looks like you don't have watch paired with the device / dont have Galaxy Wearable(Samsung Gear) app installed on phone....
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Dixon Butz:
You have BT on? Can't use Wifi.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] sebas_tytn2:
Ah yeah I assumed i would work on wifi. And had BT still off, so yeah now its blue.

Lets play ! ;)

thanks for your help!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Cinekk:
Ok, its working now! My problem was wrong name of the folder (credential) in internal storage.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] sebas_tytn2:
What's the language support? I'm pretty sure I changed the language to Dutch (native) and deleted English in the Google settings but it has trouble recognizing and always has the tendency to begin speech recognition in English.

Other than that, so far things look pretty good!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Dixon Butz:
Donated! He has a donation button now.

Be sure to donate as he is keeping this app free!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Cybernetic87:
I don't know about the Dutch, but for me - the Polish language works perfect and I am pretty sure that I haven't messed up with google account settings. I think that some other tester had issue with making it talk Italian but he resolved it - I don't know how though.

Thank you very much for that, you convinced me to put that button over there however I hesitated.

Maybe, after all, it's a good idea :) it's a nice motivation when your work gets appreciated.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch] sbomb:
collective complaints?

question....will the collective complaints of the many of us to the relative persons at Samsung change the dynamic? also is it possible to easily change the associated Google account without redoing the certification process? I erroneously used my main Google account rather the one associated with my smartphome setup so the app doesn't understand certain commands.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Dixon Butz:
What commands don't work?

seems my computer hates java and decides to be stupid and try to only recognize the 32 bit verison and constantly redirects to the 64 bit download which i have installed. I try to then correct it with the wrong output and no luck. Looks like sideloading for me is a no go since my javA is acting stupid or I am missing something when trying to load the java sdk 11.0.3 and 12.0.1
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Dixon Butz:

[MENTION=3390574]Cybernetic87[/MENTION] keep up the good work. Anyway we can assist you to pursuit Samsung and republish the application?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Void_Dragon07:
hey guys i havent been following the thread for a while was busy with some stuff the last version i used was 6.2 is the install process still the same(sign the tpk and install through the tizen manager) or do i need to do something differently
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] onkelfeix:
Really great!

Got it running via sideloading , was a bit too late for using the invitation link / my Note9 was thinking it was not a Samsung device, so the beta store didn't work at that time.

Another idea: Do you see a possibility to do a comparable Application for bridging Google Pay functionality? That would be so nice, not having to wait for Samsung Pay to arrive in the next couple of years and then not supporting paypal, i see this coming :)
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Void_Dragon07:
samsung pay isnt working for you?

[Samsung Galaxy Watch] MrTissues:
If this is the same sort of error as the Samsung S3 not having the Sap library, I had opened a ticket with Samsung about this and they had told me a while back that they will have a firmware release in "early July" for this.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Cybernetic87:
No, we just wait.

I've just published a version with EXCLUDED all Gear S3 watches, we're left with Galaxy Watch (all variants), Galaxy Active, Gear Sport.

For this watches the app will be soon available on the official store.

Once the S3 thing is patched, I will open the app for more watches (they won't validate it successfully until it works on S3 - until they resolve their problem).
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] MrTissues:
They declined your application because it didn't work on the S3 due to their own bug, even though you excluded the S3 from being installable? That is ridiculous.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Cybernetic87:
No, I excluded it just now. Last time when it was in verification they declined it because it was there. The only bug they've found was not working on Gear S3, so now fingers crossed, I excluded Gear S3 and it should finally pass.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] ThxdarknyT:
I don't understand this I have Tmobile Gear S3 Frontier on 4.0.0.2 tizen and I don't experience any issues .its it suppose to work better than it already work, cause I'm on 89 and it works without pauses or errors. Is this error just on Gear S3 on One UI?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Cybernetic87:
Yes, its their firmware update bug.... they excluded this lib in Tizen 4.0.0.4, nobody knows why (they claim it was a mistake)
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Norridan:
Screen reader Voice assistant compatibility?

Looking forward to this app. I am visually impaired and rely on the screen reader accessability option. Unfortunately, I have encountered a lot of apps that don't work when it is on. Does anyone know if this will work? I am on a Galaxy Watch with the OneUI update.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Dixon Butz:
Hi

I just tested this.

The watch says:

Can't open this app while voice assistant is on.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] MrTissues:
Ah got it, good luck! I'm hoping their claimed fix comes out soon so I can do the manual installation right after.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] lewis1982:
Is open the new beta for new watch 46mm bt versione

Samsung s9plus

Luigisgueglia82@gmail.com
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Norridan:
Thanks for checking. Hopefully this is something thatcan be remedied in a future version. It's not a show-stopper since I can turn the screen reader on/off with a two finger triple tap. But it would still be nice to not have to do that.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Cybernetic87:
Even if I managed to make it compatible with this Accessibility mode turned on, it wouldn't be usable anyway because the accessibility reader would read the same stuff as assistant does - they would overlap each other. Makes no sense to me to make this app compatible with this accessibility mode. Would be no use to hear it reading the text as assistants reads everything which shows up...

So maybe my app should disable this feature while running, and reenable on close... ?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] ThxdarknyT:
So as long as I dont update to tizen 4.0.0.4 OneUI the Gasist app will run smoothly like it is now?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Norridan:
That might work. I'm not sure how they did it, but I was able to use both the screen reader and Google assistant on my old Zenwatch 2 Wear OS device. Google would do its thing and the screen reader only read stuff if I tapped on the screen. It's possible that the differences in how the screenreaders are implemented may mean that it's not possible to make it work, but if you can that would be great.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] lewis1982:
But the beta store is opened for update the watch version?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] talmarsh:
Was just able to add a shortcut to this app using Galaxy Watch Designer.

You need to use

org.tizen.cybernetic87.GAssist

as the button address.

:D
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Cybernetic87:
Its going to be changed - to com.cybernetic87.GAssist in the next version, I believe that in 0.8.9 its already under new package name.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] talmarsh:
Great. Thanks for the heads up. :good:

I'm not sure what version I'm running, but I installed through the beta store and it hasn't seemed to update in a while (still have HTML responses option)

I sole about beta for the watch
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] kbboykin:
What is the current installation process. I have downloaded the phone app from the Play Store and 8.9 here. Do I still need to go through the process of creating secrets.json file? If so, I'll just wait for the final release.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] lewis1982:
Excuse me how do you install 0.8.9 for watch?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Dixon Butz:
Beta invites are closed while Samsung validates the app for the non beta store. A few more days and it should be public.

Do not PM me for support please.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Cybernetic87:
You will always have to create the secrets.json file, even on final version because Google Assistant API is in Alpha and is not meant for reselling - I already explained it.

Even when Google Assistant API will get out of Alpha stage and will be available for embedding in apps - it would be PAID, and I am not generous enough to sponsor you all the API calls ;) I don't want to make money on it either, so yes, with my app you will ALWAYS need your project setup on Google Console and use the secrets.json file.

Looks like you're gonna have to wait for Samsung to deliver the Google Assistant (and other GApps) to Samsung watches.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] lewis1982:
Sorry. Hope ii's the right one
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] robgee789:

Yep, gave my Watch a new life with google assist that I using a lot and now I can also control all my smart home stuffs from the watch.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Dixon Butz:
Hell yes! This is no ordinary Tizen app. Cybernetic87 is an amazing programmer! Development is constantly ongoing.

I don't use my Google home devices much now. I just keep the Gassist app open on watch. With auto listen on start on, auto listen on resume, sound and vibration on. Then all I have to do is touch the screen, watch wakes up, and Gassist listens so fast. Genius! I hate saying Okay Google!

Gassist is so fast and stable. 10 star app all the way!!

[Samsung Galaxy Watch] wolfxwood:
how long?

how long do you think the validation will take should i wait or try and sideload it?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Cybernetic87:
There is a chance it will pop on store this week already. Validation from Samsung takes about 1 week(they re soooooo slow). App was sent to validation on Friday.

The version currently being validated will only show on store for the new watches. Galaxy watch, Galaxy Watch Active and Sport.

Thanks. Did not mean to be offensive or sound ungrateful. Excellent work. I may still try a stab at creating the secrets file knowing this. Just afraid I might bork something. Excellent job and am every thankful for people like you!!

I have bitten the bullet and created the secrets.json file and downloaded v0.8.9 and v0.9.1 of the watch app. I have instalted the app successfully from the Play Store, but when I try to sideload using sdb install, I get this error "processing result : Check certificate error [-12] failed". What am I doing wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] lewis1982:
Will i ask to you how do you install the tpk on the watch?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] ViTBEK:
Try to follow this guide, step by step:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.re...orial_how_to_install_tpks_and_wgts_onto_your/

In yours situation, it's look like your aren't signed tpk file with your certificate. Check out step 18 from the guide.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] kbboykin:
I have a certificate via GearWatchDesigner and it still won't install. I have never been able to get Tizen Studio to install and run on my PC.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] hunnymadaan:
Installing tizen studio is very easy. Just need to setup jdk .
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] sbomb:
perhaps I jumped the gun....stupid question...but does this operate without the phone adjacent...i.e in bluetooth range? seems that if I try to use the gassist on the watch while not connected to phone it does not work and will cause the app on the phone to take over the phone until the watch is reconnected and the app on the watch is reopened.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] -=AsteriX=-:
I installed the latest version 0.91 and companion on the phone, generated and tied up secrets.json, all permissions are given on the phone (GAssist.net service is running), but when I start it, the phone app writes "phone app is not configured configure the phone app"

and by the way is it possible to work with other languages or only English?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Cybernetic87:
This is strange, never seen this issue before. If the phone says the service is running - it should be able to connect always.

Did you get any errors during configuration of phone app ?

Assistant works in any language that Google Assistant supports.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] -=AsteriX=-:
There were no errors and it is strange, now I will add screenshots

any ideas?

may be i must downgrade to older version?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Cybernetic87:
Uninstall the phone app and install it from Google Play Store:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cybernetic87.GAssist

Run the phone app and complete wizard, try the watch app again.

If you download the play store version - I could see the logs then.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] -=AsteriX=-:
ok i will try

I guess I understood what the problem was, I tried to find Google Assistant in the market and it says that it is not supported in my country, but it seems I saw mine on my Samsung S10+

Could this be a problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Cybernetic87:
Yes, the app requires Android 8.0 or higher, maybe that's why you get the error that it's unavailable for you.

So far the only excluded country is China (Google services usage enforces to exclude China from target countries)
