Try the new serializel ibrary, with it you can turn into bytes any object, send it and convert it back in the receiver

Have made the appropriate changes in order to use serialisation?
What error do you get?
Can you post your code?

My code is just attached in first post and the photo show that I cannot compile to an app as the problem with byte.

So you haven't change your original code?
USE serialisation in your code, and if that doesn't work THEN post any relevant code.
Your current code error tells you that it cannot parse a byte into a bytes array...
Dealing with strings in arduino is somewhat complex, so Erel created an "universal" serialisation lib to be used in cases like this one

Try the example found here, I think it does almost exactly what you need.

You should post the relevant code and error message as text instead of screenshots.

String.GetBytes returns an array of bytes.

B4X:

Dim b() As Byte = EditText1.Text.GetBytes("UTF8") 'convert to bytes
Log(BytesToString(b, 0, b.Length, "UTF8")) 'convert to string

I recommend using B4RSerializator.
