iOS Question Communication Error: ConnectFailure

[mApper]

Hi!

I am wanting try out B4i, and from what I could read in the forums you do not need the Apple Developer account if you can use Apple Simulator.
I have installed the Local Mac Builder along with the latest XCode (and ran it), I can ping my Mac but I cannot get the compiler to connect to my Mac:

B4i Version: 8.10
Parsing code.    (0.00s)
Building folders structure.    (0.02s)
Compiling code.    (0.00s)
Compiling layouts code.    (0.00s)
Building Xcode project.    (0.10s)
   
icon-store-1024.png is missing from Files\Special. Using default icon.
Preparing project for builder.    (0.02s)
    Project size: 0.15 MB
Sending data to remote compiler.    Error
Communication error: ConnectFailure

I have tried turning of my firewall completely, disabled stealth mode, disabled private iCloud traffic, disabled Little Snitch, forced open the 51042 port via config file and turned about every stone I could think of...
Any suggestion on what to do?

1. What do you see in the server output on the Mac?
2. Open safari on your Mac and navigate to: http://127.0.0.1:51041/test
Does it work?

3. Open the browser on your PC and navigate to: http://<mac ip>:51041/test
Does it work?

To investigate further I installed php on my Mac and ran
php -S 10.0.0.10:8000 in a folder with a simple php.index file (sets up a simple webserver).

My Windows PC got access to this right away, so there should not be a problem with the Mac receiving incomming traffic.

If it works locally and doesn't work from the PC browser then it is a firewall problem. It might be in the router itself.

 

[mApper]

I am not a network expert, but as both a webserver and also SMB folders is accessible from the Windows PC, I do not see how it could be the router?!

Is there any parameters I can pass the builder in order to change the ports?

 

[Erel]

You cannot change the port.

Test it in a different network. You can use a phone as a hotspot and connect the PC and Mac to this network.

Good suggestion. Sadly no difference in result.

 

[Erel]

I suggest you to start with the hosted builder.
