Good morning,

We have an application build on B4I which was managed by a service provider on his own account. He gave us the applications' sources and I'm trying to install it on the account on the society.

I've successfully created the certificate and profile, added the udid I needed.
The Build B4i-Bridge App seems to successfully been created. I had the QR code to install the app on my mobile phone. The application show's up on the screen but, when I try to open it, it still waiting for IDE to connect to B4i-Bridge...

I've found this documentation :

But, When I enter the IP address I see on my mobile on the API, that says this address can't be reached.

I'm totally novice on B4x environnement. Could someone help me to fix this please ?

Best regards

Does that mean that we can't use the iPhone outside the computer network at all ? Or It's only for the first time we open the application on the iPhone ?

B4i-Bridge is used to install and run your app on your iPhone during development.
Both your PC and iPhone need to be connected to the same local network (Wi-Fi) to establish this connection and transfer the app to the iPhone for testing/develpong

You only need the same network setup for installing or updating the app on your iPhone during the development process. After that, the app works as any normal iOS app, and you can use it outside the local network (App installed in release mode)

probably you followed those steps already.

start checking Developer Mode:
if Privacy & Security -> Developer Mode is ON

also I read somewhere that "#MinVersion: 12 " can help. (I have min 8, and all good)

Thanks for your answer. Indeed, they aren't.
I'll ask to someone who is in the same network than my windows.

Does that mean that we can't use the iPhone outside the computer network at all ? Or It's only for the first time we open the application on the iPhone ?
