Frequently Asked Questions
How is data handled on mobile devices after a user account is deactivated?
App data is wiped from the device when a user logs out of the app. If the user is logged in when the account is deactivated, then within one minute the system logs the user out, and as a result all app data is wiped from the device.
I need the code for the v1 version
You can still access it! We have moved the code from master to the v1 branch. Be aware that we will not be providing any more v1 versions or updates in the public stores.
Troubleshooting
I keep getting a message "Cannot connect to the server. Please check your server URL and internet connection."
This sometimes appears when there is an issue with the SSL certitificate configuration.
To check that your SSL certificate is set up correctly, test the SSL certificate by visiting a site such as https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/index.html. If thereβs an error about the missing chain or certificate path, there is likely an intermediate certificate missing that needs to be included.
Please note that the apps cannot connect to servers with self-signed certificates, consider using Let's Encrypt instead.
I see a βConnectingβ¦β bar that does not go away
If your app is working properly, you should see a grey βConnectingβ¦β bar that clears or says βConnectedβ after the app reconnects.
If you are seeing this message all the time, and your internet connection seems fine:
Ask your server administrator if the server uses NGINX or another webserver as a reverse proxy. If so, they should check that it is configured correctly for supporting the websocket connection for APIv4 endpoints.
