What I see on the device:

  • The app boots up completely.

What I have tried:

  • Restarting machine and device multiple times
  • Trying device in multiple usb ports
  • Trying with xcode in various states (connected to device, not connected to device etc)
  • Connecting device to a private wifi hosted by my machine

All of the above give the same result.

As far as I can tell the ping_app method is not returning a 200 so that the status becomes connected=true. When I ping the app manually using a rest client over port 37265 I get http status of 405 returned.

Is there something I am missing on my machine/network set up that is preventing the ping_app method from giving the expected response?

Solution

  • The proper format is:

    DEVICE_ENDPOINT=http://192.168.2.2:37265

    You can test that the server is running using:

    $ curl http://192.168.2.2:37265/version
