iOS Question B4i-Bridge Annoyance

[mmieher]

Every four or five compiles, the Bridge stops prompting to INSTALL the App, which it should do every time after a Clean Project.

I get no errors. I just cannot install and see my changes.

I then have to go through uninstall App and Bridge, power-cycle iPhone6 a couple of times. Re-install Bridge. Re-connect. Then the App will install for a few more compiles.

Anyone know a solution? This is so aggravating.

Something similar happens to me when the wifi connection is not very good and/or there are multiple devices, sometimes with conflicting IP addresses. What best works in my situation is cycling wifi in the development device.

Thanks, JordiCP. I have a great wifi connection. I have discovered that it happens more when I have two B4i projects open. The one I am working on, and some example. I only connect with the project I am working on.

This does happen. Especially if you leave your PC and it goes to sleep mode.
What I do and it usually works first time, is to close the example, clean the project on my current app and then re-compile. Usually you do not need to delete and recycle.

Hope this helps.

You should never need to reinstall B4i-Bridge or restart the device.

In the worst case it should be solved after you uninstall the debug app and clean the project.

Do not run multiple instances of B4i. Each one will try to connect to the bridge and bad things will happen.
