Yes

World_of_Games · July 19, 2022, 1:59pm

Still the same issue

What if instead of entering the code, you use the Emulator option to connect.

Using a small program ...

Maybe I'm wrong, but you should be able to connect bluestacks with the Emulator option.

I tried in this way with(Legacy connection) I got this message

Here when I turn OFF my WIFI
and start OFFline
I got this message

it means it's NOT OFFLINE still something sending to the server....

Any suggestions Jeff?

It would be helpful to see the console output (Chrome dev console) while connecting to the Companion. Btw. Version 2.63 (and 2.63u) are the release companion. 2.64 is in Beta test in the Play Store, the only difference is the new legacy connection mode.

Yesterday's issue should not have any impact on Companion connections as nothing involved touches MIT infrastructure (ai2 is at Google and code is at IBM, Rendezvous server is in AWS). Our problems, which continue into today, have to do with the buildserver infrastructure.

P.S. The last screenshot implies that the Companion cannot reach http://rendezvous.appinventor.mit.edu (which is located in AWS). Check firewall rules etc. One issue may be that your network is now blocking http (as opposed to https) so that is something to look into.

One issue may be that your network is now blocking http

so please help how we can unlock http?
where I should go first?

Talk to your internet service provider and ask them if their service is blocking access to http URLs.

This advice is speculation. http versus https might not be the issue you are having.

You must discuss this with your ISP. No one else can discover if it is blocking http.

You need to find out and tell us what they say.

Jeff, be aware that the screen shot in MIT AI2 Companion Not Working(Online even Offline)? - #68 by World_of_Games is not from App Inventor. It is from the third party AI2Offline stand alone . Posts 42 onward appear to refer to AI2Offline.

@World_of_Games This discussion is getting confusing. It talks about App Inventor connection issues AND AI2Offline issues. When you post please be clear about which compiler you are talking about when you provide an example. Thanks.
