Wish [SOLVED] Build server settings can use hostname but is overly restrictive

[Sandman]

UPDATE: This was solved in https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4i-v8-80-has-been-released.164471/

I use the local builder, and the mac used for this has been given the innovative hostname mac.

This works just fine:

So it would be nice if one also could enter the hostname here:

Currently it doesn't work, an IP is forced by the IDE. However, if one close B4i and manually edit the B4i preferences like this...

ServerIp=mac

...it works just fine. So it seems the IDE is overly restrictive. The actual wish is for that restriction to be removed.

There was a technical reason for this in the past related to the generated certificate. It is not required any more as we switched to installation based on Apple Configurator 2. I will remove it.
