iOS Question Trying to connect to device...

[mmieher]

This used to work, but new PC. Using Hosted Mac Builder. Bridge successfully installed thanks to Erel. Certificate is in IPhone 6. Bridge on phone started. When I do Tools > Device IP I see the phone and click on it. Bridge App briefly displays IP address. Code compiles with no errors.

But then ...

IDE displays in bottom left "Trying to connect to device (192.168.1.105)." for a minute or so then disappears. Nothing happens on iPhone.

Probably something dumb.

Have you tried to kill B4i-Bridge and start it again?

 

[mmieher]

I rebooted the iPhone and tried again. Still says "Trying to connect".

 

[Erel]

What is the iOS version?

Set the build architecture under Tools - Build Server - settings to 64 bit.

 

[mmieher]

Thanks, Erel. I set it to 64 bit but still IDE says "Trying to connect ...".

 

[Erel]

Are you able to rebuild and install B4i-Bridge?

 

[mmieher]

I uninstalled the Bridge on the iPhone. Rebuilt and re-installed successfully. Still get "Trying to connect ..."

 

[Erel]

I'm not sure that there is a problem at all. The message disappears when it is connected. Open the visual designer? Do you see the changes in B4i-Bridge (on the device)?

Sorry for the fire-drill, Erel. I am not very good on the iPhone yet. The IDE continues to display "Trying to connect", however, when I delete the App form the iPhone prior to compiling, the Bridge does install my update. Thanks for your help.

Sorry to post in an old thread.

I just had this problem and thought I'd document the reason, and solution: I already had my app installed from App Store, so installing a debug version failed somewhat silently, just showing the Trying to connect message. The solution is simply to uninstall the App Store version, after that it works just fine again.

I confirm: installing the application from the store prevents the IDE from connecting to B4i on iPphone
