No call to mode change event, nor installed() / updated()

🛎️ Get Help Apps

Hi, all. Two issues:
(1) I'm trying to get the mode change event to trigger, but it won't.
(2) I also don't see any call to installed() or updated() when I change the code (there's nothing logged as the code below would imply).
Is there something obvious that I've got wrong?
Thanks for the help!

installed() is called the first time Done is hit in the app, and only then. updated() is called every subsequent time Done is hit.

Look at the App Status page (gear icon) to see if there is an Event Subscription for location mode. Like this:

Thanks for the reply.

By “done” do you mean “save”?

I’m showing “no event subscriptions set”. Do I need to do something special outside the code to allow the subscription? If it’s not calling updated() then it probably isn’t registering the subscribe?

OK... now I see. Just saving the code isn't enough to trigger updated(). I also have to go to Apps -> (my app) -> Done to get it to actually update.

Once I did that, I see the call to update() in the log and I see the new event subscription appear.

Thanks for the help.
