PhoneGap Developer keeps "Downloading..." on iPod Touch 4

[Magic94]

Hi,

I'm trying to connect the phonegap serve with my iPod Touch 4. My iPhone 5S connects and downloads the content after a few seconds, but the iPod Touch Stuck at the Downloading-Screen.
The iPod Touch is resetted with iOS 6.1.6 (newest for this model)

[Hydra9268]

Same problem. I tried everything I can think of but I'm simply stuck at the "Downloading..." screen.

[pulsarrrrrr]

My 5s is stuck on "Downloading...", using 7.1.2.

[Hydra9268]

Forgot to mention: iPhone 5s running IOS 8.3

Hey @Hydra9268 and @pulsarrrrrr

Could you fill out this questionnaire for us about your connection issues?

[Hydra9268]

@timkim - I'm not sure what happened but PhoneGap Desktop is working for me on my iphone. I didn't update the desktop app or iphone app. Maybe the port-forwarding settings I setup on the Linksys router finally started working, not sure. Anyhow let me know if you would like me to continue to fill out the questionnaire.

[Hydra9268]

Well I got the latest Desktop app and it's broken, again... wait... sorry, i launched the ios app and it's all good.

[mjdeangelis]

Has this been resolved for anyone? I'm getting the same thing happening for me on my iPhone 6.

[Hydra9268]

It works for me now. I believe the problem was my Linksys WRT54G router. I set up port forwarding and it didn't work initially but it did work later (so perhaps after restarting Windows).

I'm having the same issue.

Same

Hey all,

This has been a hard issue to reproduce. At the moment, I suspect that the PhoneGap CLI is displays the incorrect IP Address, which leads the connection issue.

I've published a new version of the PhoneGap CLI that may address this by displaying all available (public) network adapter addresses. The first address listed is the CLI's best guess at your primary adapter.

I'd appreciate it if you could upgrade to the latest CLI and let me know if this helps or not.

Thanks!

I was using the Mac dmg/package. I can switch over to the CLI tomorrow morning and let you know what happens.

[mwbrooks]

Thanks @zanematthew!

[elliot-a]

I had the same problem with the desktop app - works great with the CLI. It was showing the same IP for both though - so I doubt thats the issue.

[mwbrooks]

Good to hear @elliot-a!

[zanematthew]

@mwbrooks I moved away from the package and just installed the CLI version. It worked! I did the following:

• Installed the CLI version
• Created the app $ phonegap create myApp
• Change directories into the app dir
• Started the server $ phonegap serve
• Made sure both my Mac, and iPhone are on the same network

The first IP did not connect, however the next one did.

Hi @zanematthew,

Awesome, that's exactly what I was hoping to hear! I'm glad to hear that you've got it going. Next, I'll see what can be done to add similar functionality to the Desktop app.

[JohanPGunnarsson]

Seems to be working fine now on iOS.

[HamDigital]

Not sure if this helps or not but I had this issue and it turns out the desktop app gave me the wrong IP address. I want to my command prompt on Windows, checked IP Config (by typing ipconfig and hitting enter) and got my systems IP address from there (adding the port on the end). This worked for me

[jhomme]

I used IPConfig to get the address. I added the port to the end of that. I get the connection error asking me to enter a valid URL. I'm using iPhone 5S with IOS 9.2, on Phonegap Cli version 5.3.9.

Same problem: on my iPhone 6, it all works great, but on my jailbroken iPod Touch (iOS 6.1), it's downloading forever.

Could it be because Safari on iOS 6 cannot handle ZIP files? If I go to http://ipaddress/__api__/appzip, the iPhone 6 shows a "open with" screen, the Touch gives a "Safari cannot download this file" error.

1. OS-X 10.11.3
2. No
3. Tried both
4. CLI: 5.4.1, Desktop: 0.2.1
5. iOS 6.1 (jailbroken)
6. No, first time I use the mobile app
7. Yes
8. No, "Safari cannot download this file" error
9. No, keeps on "downloading"
10. It's the Hello World app
11. No (but on an iPhone 6 with iOS 9 it does)

[zomannk]

Same issue on my android phone.
I have the latest dmg file.

Keeps saying:
Downloading! / Tap to cancel!

And eventually stops saying download error.

[29er]

Same issue on my iPhone 6. ( hello world app ) I ensured my MacBook and my iPhone are connected to same wifi network.
The device app is just frozen on these two messages.
Downloading! / Tap to cancel!

and i cant even tap to cancel : (
Even tried with the Desktop CLLI.
booo!
