iOS Question b4i bridge fails to connect to IDE when app is killed and reopened

Every time when the b4i bridge app gets killed either by swiping or by ios memory management (when the iphone is in standby for too long) I can't get the bridge app and the IDE to reconnect. The IDE will report it can't ping the iPhone. The iPhone just keeps waiting.

The only solution so far is to restart the iPhone, but this is cumbersome. I've got an iPhone 5 with iOS 10.3.3 using B4i 4.30. I hope someone has a solution!

B4i-Bridge kills itself whenever it goes to the background.


Do you mean that B4i-Bridge is waiting for a connection? Does it show the correct ip address?
Yes, that's the weird part. IP address is correct, IDE can't ping, Bridge can't connect. I have to restart the iPhone to get them to re-connect.

Thanks for the tip Erel! I dread having to re-enter my wifi password again, but I found out that when i have this issue, I only have to disable and re-enable wifi to fix it which takes about 10 seconds, I can live with that. By the way, thanks for creating such a great development tool!
