iOS Question b4ibridge compatibility with ios12.5.x

[Markos]

Hi All,

I recently had to update to Xcode to 15.2 to be compliant with Apple store minimum requirements and I was able to successfully submit updates to the store so that's great!

Now I'm using iOS12.5.x iphone to test my apps before submitting to the App Store and when I use my Adhoc certificate in b4i v8.50 to build the App using b4ibridge which usually works well I get a download message to install on my iphone 6 but this time it now says cant connect ( after the build is successful from both b4i prompt dialogue and BuildServer text message ) to the build server at 192.168.1.60 my address for the mac running BuildServer.

What is the issue and is there a work around using the current iphone 6 with iOS12.5.x? Or I must now have a device that runs iOS14.x?

Many thanks

Please asllow me to elaborate further.

b4iBridge connects to the b4i IDE however after the build is finished and it attempts to install on the iphone that message that cannot connect to the buildserver IP comes up.

I don't know if it is a OS restriction or port blocking from this version of Ventura 13.6.7 or the b4iBridge no longer supports installing onto your apple device when using xcode 15.2 with adhoc mobile cert & provisioning profile, which was really convenient in earlier versions of MacOS and Xcode

I found a work around by using Apple Configurator it adds 2 more steps I didnt have to do when using b4i and b4ibridge so didnt want to switch if there was a way to get the old way to work. If you have MacOS ventura 13.6.7 get Configurator 2.16 as the latest version demands latest MacOS, see a copy here at https://tageniu-my.sharepoint.com/:...FJtCbQagtyVx4BvMSnZMQKKUvs99BgCsif9w?e=GvIb6y
