I get that this is a niche within a niche within a niche situation, but has anyone had luck getting apps that need internet working with the internet helper app? I am running graphene and the latest gadgetbridge nightly along with the most recent internet helper build. I can install and manage apps, push weather to the built-in watch app, etc., but regardless of what settings I've tried, apps don't seem to be able to reach the web. I guess my first question is does this work for anyone? If so, any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!

!pebble@lemmy.ml seems to be the active Pebble community. Might be worth asking there.

Hmmm can't say I've tried this actually, I like gb for the pure offline capabilities.

Have you tried multiple apps? // which ones have you tried? Oh and do you have the JS bridge feature enabled?

I was gonna delete this due to lack of responses, but I eventually figured it out. It turns out you have to enable background javascript for watchfaces/apps to access the web.
