Android Question B4A Version 5.5 Debug Legacy Works, Debug Rapid Does Not

[Mahares]

When I am connected via USB or Bridge the app runs fine in debug rapid, but when both are disconnected, the app shows ‘Waiting for IDE Debugger to connect’, then black screen, then goes back to home screen. Nothing happens. However, I do not have any problems or issues when I switch to Debug Legacy. The B4A debugger is also 5.5.
Thank you

You cannot run a "debug" app without the IDE. You need to compile your app in release mode instead.

1. There was no problem with version 4.3. I was very reluctant to upgrade to 5.5 for several months for this very reason, where things work well and all of a sudden a new release does not offer backward compatibility.
2. Also, where are the binoculars in the icon menu for Find/Replace. Now with 5.5 you have to press F5 or Edit, Find/Replace.
3. When a keyword or sentence is highlighted, its background color is very light blue, sometimes, it just blends in everything else. Too light.

1. The rapid debugger has never worked without the IDE being connected. You can still use the legacy debugger. It is available under Tools - IDE Options.

2. For searches you should use Ctrl + F. You can press F3 to open the Find / Replace dialog.

3. You can change this color by modifying the theme: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/themes-and-fonts-in-5-0.54338/#post-340927
