iOS Question Mac Builder with Windows VM

[schalkgreyling]

Good day all,

I've read all of the posts about running b4i in a VM in my mac, but I can't seem to solve this last issue.

So i have Mac OS running the builder (Primary OS on a Mac PC)
IP:10.1.3.173

And Windows running on Parallels (Network set to shared network) both has internet access:
IP:10.211.55.3

I can run b4i and deploy to the mac builder, I can even access the mac builder site on my Iphone.

But when I click the install App button, i get an error saying "Cannot connect to 10.1.3.173" and the whole process stops there.

So i guess my question is,
What cannot connect to 10.1.3.173? Is the app trying to connect to b4i on windows with the wrong ip? Or is it install related as the installation never even starts :/ Maybe some IP gets mixed up?

For some reason, when I deploy from my other windows only laptop, everything works.

Thanks in advance

The first step is to test it with the hosted builder. Do you have an account? If not then I'll send you a temporary id. Does it work?

Hi Earl,

Please send me the temp account to test.

Thank you.

 

[Erel]

Done.

Thank you Earl, the process does work when using remote Builder. I switched back to the local builder and I still get the "cannot connect to 10.1.3.173" when clicking on Install App.

Next step is to stop the Mac builder (http://127.0.0.1:51041/kill from the Mac browser). Start the builder and check the ip address that it prints in the logs. Is it 10.1.3.173?

I just got home and connected to the home network (so my mac has a new IP) but i am experiencing the same issue.

mac ip: 192.168.1.211
windows VM ip (Still the same) :10.211.55.3

When I click install app (Firewall disabled, the installation works when I publish to the same server from my windows laptop):

The SSL ip address is incorrect for some reason (Key IP: 10.37.129.2)

See the multiple ip addresses section: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/local-mac-builder-installation.46402/#content

Woooot thank you Erel.

The problem was I needed to not only by shut down the VM, but actually closing the software(Parallels). Only then does the SSL IP change to Mac IP (changing the key.txt does not change the SSL IP).

 

[Erel]

(changing the key.txt does not change the SSL IP)

It does if you follow the instructions closely. You can set it to any ip address you like.

 

[schalkgreyling]

I tested the scenario now again maybe it is only related to using Parallels (or something weird on my pc), but using

manual:<correct ip address>

does not update the SSL IP if parallels is still open, even when windows is shut down. Only after closing parallels does the SSL IP change upon launching the mac builder. Setting the Key IP to manual does change the Mac Builder (web) address to the correct one just not the SSL.

Have you deleted the keys folder?
