iOS Question b4i-bridge problem

[MESTERM]

hi i tried a hosted mac builder and it was successful both in installing new apps and the bridge it's self but when i tried to switch to my local mac i got an error which says cannot connect to 192.168.x.xx

does the test work?

http://192.168.x.xx:51041/test

it does and i can test my apps on simulator but it's an other story using real devices

So you can install and run Apps using the Bridge on real devices using the Hosted Builder but when you switch to the Local Builder you can only run the apps on the Mac Simulator?

Does the error message appear on the Device or on the B4I UI?
Also, are you sure that the Device is on the same network as the Local Builder - 192.168.x.x -

I also switch back-and-forth from Hosted to Local and have had a few issues but they have been mainly because of some oversight on my part. Otherwise it works very well for me.

yes exactly , the error appears on device screen and says cannot connect to 192.168.1.194
and yes they are all connected to a same local network

I think I had a similar problem and this solved it:

https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/local-mac-builder-installation.46402/

Refer to editing the key.txt file under the section "Multiple IPs"

A REALLY IMPORTANT step is "open the key folder and delete all files"

Stop the server before you do this and then restart it after the changes are made

Have you installed and trusted the B4I certificate?
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/installing-b4i-bridge-and-debugging-first-app.45871/

It is no longer needed when developing with the hosted builder.

Yes i did trusted the certificate and it works fine over the hosted builder and in local builder i can test the apps on simulator and i can connect to 192.168.1.194:51042/test but i get a security Alert sometimes but when i process to 192.168.1.194:51041/mesterm it opens a page to install the b4i bridge but when i click on the install button it says cannot connect to 192.168.1.194 which is the correct ip of my mac

Check the ip address that is printed when you start the server. Maybe there are multiple network interfaces and it chose the wrong one.

Hello,
I have a similar problem. I, for some reason, uninstalled b4i-bridge from my iPhone. When I tried to install it from my mac, my phone refused to connect to the mac (i.e. address given by the server is not reachable from my phone). They are both in the same network and my pc can connect to both :51041 and :51041/test. The real frustrating part is that I was able to easily connect to my mac last week. I don't know what causes this.
