Why are applications from the app store not appearing on my Smart Glasses?

Overview

If an application has been added to your library in the Vuzix App Store, it should normally install automatically once the device is connected and properly configured.

This guide outlines the most common reasons this may not happen and provides step-by-step troubleshooting for M-Series, LX1, and Shield devices.

1. Check Network Connectivity

Make sure your device is connected to an active and unrestricted Wi-Fi network.

To check:

1. Open Settings on the device.

2. Select Network & Internet.

3. Select Internet.

4. Confirm the connected network shows a “Connected” status.
   

2. Verify Device Configuration

One of the most common causes is that communication with the Vuzix App Store is disabled.

To check:

1. Open Settings > Apps > Vuzix App Store on the device.

2. Ensure the Enable Vuzix App Store toggle is turned on.
   

If enabling the toggle fails, you may see errors such as:

• “Not Linked to a Vuzix App Store account”

• “App Store connection refused. Is this device properly registered on the app store?”

If this happens, the toggle may switch back off. To resolve this, follow the steps in the Linking to App Store Account section below, then return and enable the toggle again.

Once enabled successfully, make sure Run Actions Automatically is checked. This ensures the device stays synchronized with App Store updates.

If the app does not install automatically, you can select Check for Pending Actions Now to manually trigger the installation.

3. Verify Device is Linked to the App Store

If the issue persists, confirm that your device is properly registered and linked to your App Store account.

Find Your Device Serial Number

• The serial number is printed on the device housing (main unit, not the battery).

• You can also view it on the device by going to Settings > About Glasses. Under the Device details section, select Model

Check Registration in App Store

1. From a PC, log in to the Vuzix App Store.

2. Go to My Account > My Devices.
   

• Verify your device is listed here.

• If your device is already listed, click the Refresh icon to reconnect it.

After this, return to the device and re-enable the Vuzix App Store toggle as described earlier. A successful connection will show a “Connected” status.

Additional Troubleshooting

If you see a TLS error in Settings > Apps > Vuzix App Store  or still having trouble downloading the app(s), then your network may be blocking access to Vuzix App Store.

Ask your IT Team to allow access to https://appstore.vuzix.comon your network.
