I tried the project.
My B4A Logs show:

For error #1 and #2, I think because B4a-Bridge already running using a port number. I tried to change the port number.
Error #3:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid notification (no valid small icon): Notification(channel=*** shortcut=null contentView=null vibrate=null sound=null defaults=0xfffffffc flags=0x0 color=0x00000000 vis=PRIVATE)
Private Sub UpdateNotification
Dim icon As String
Dim content As String
If ConnectedStatus Then
icon = "a_connected"
content = "Connected"
Else
icon = "a_disconnected"
content = "Disconnected"
End If
Notification1.Initialize2(Notification1.IMPORTANCE_LOW)
Notification1.Sound = False
Notification1.Vibrate = False
Notification1.Icon = icon
Notification1.SetInfo("B4A-Bridge", content, Main)
Notification1.Notify(1)
End Sub
Solution #1 (error #3)
Let me fix this error first.
It seems the project is missing the following files:
a_connected.png
a_disconnected.png
Just put back these 2 files to B4A-Bridge267e\Objects\res\drawable
View attachment 168266
After fixing error #3, it is still showing error and I find the code actually handle the alternate port number.
Try
If WifiServer.IsInitialized = False Then
WifiServer.Initialize(6789, "Server")
End If
Catch
Log(LastException.Message)
'switch to alternate port
WifiServer.Initialize(6789 + 117, "Server")
End Try
Then I found the error #4.

Solution #2 (error #1 and #2)
It seems the errors are related to
Foreground service types
B4A v13.0+ should be used with targetSdkVersion 34+. Android 14 continues the longtime trend of making services less flexible and more difficult to use (converging to iOS background tasks features from 2014). Many of the previous use cases for services are better covered by receivers...
It means we need to update the Manifest editor.
The easiest way is to check Erel's source code for B4A Bridge here:
B4A-Bridge is made of two components. One component is running on the device and the other is embedded in the IDE. The device side is the server side. It waits for connections and when a connection is established it handles the "action" messages. The code itself is made of a simple activity...
which is hosted on GitHub and by observing the xml file here:
https://github.com/AnywhereSoftware/B4A-Bridge/blob/main/Objects/AndroidManifest.xml
I guess I need to add the following to the Manifest Editor:
AddPermission(android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_CONNECTED_DEVICE)
SetServiceAttribute(service1, android:foregroundServiceType, "connectedDevice")
So the app is now compile and run on my phone.
