These are apps that have been running with no trouble at all for like 2 years. Even when the last Android update came out, the widgets continued along as if nothing had changed. There is no manner of debugging I can do if my current debugging environment doesn't show any problems at all.
I guess what I really want to know is if anyone is aware of changes to how the widget update handler works in 6.0 as opposed to every prior release. In any case... I cannot even compile for 6.0 (23), unless I change my authoring environment. I've been using Eclipse all this time. When I tried to update that to the new set of SDKs, the whole thing broke. Then I find that the SDK is no longer supported with Eclipse. I have to change over to Android Studio. Seriously... That is a serious pain in the arse. I like my environment just fine. And it took a long time to get comfortable with it. Only for them to say, "yeah, we're not gonna do that any more." Having said that, if that's what I have to do, then so be it. Just have to find the time to work it all out.
