SSE error! nil on launch

Mobile Apps Home Assistant Companion for Apple
1

App produces and error on the top banner and displays a blank screen

+1

Keeps showing the error banner every second or so and gives way to update or change anything.

Edit: Uninstalled + reinstalled and then was loading ok.Note I dont have https enabled, just plain http

I had that same issue the first time, but I used https:// in my url while that wasn’t enabled. I think this error could be captured and would make the settings reset?

I have this problem now. I have uninstalled and reinstalled twice.
I’m using http://ward…com:8123 which works in my browser.
I tried restarting my phone too.

I think I may have figured this out… This may or may not be the same for you.
It’s like I tell my students, read the error message. As you can see in the screenshot, it can’t find http://w/api/stream
When I entered my URL, I used the SwiftKey auto-complete keyboard to enter the rest of my URL after I’d only typed the first letter, w.
So it looks like the app only got what I actually typed, not what I selected from the auto-complete, and the URL is just ‘w’.

I reinstalled, entered the data in full (normal keyboard) and now I get the other errors people are seeing - a message at the top (like connected to HA Realtime API or device_tracker/see called and then it crashes.
Much better :slight_smile:

@lindsayward after the first initial crash it should work if you restart the app now

Not for me. Restarting (swipe-up, tap again) gives the same results. I see one (maybe two) message, then it’s gone in less than a second.

Same for me. My domain is setup to redirect to another port (not blocked by my ISP) and I have a self-signed SSL certificate. Could it be either one of these options. It looks like it is having problems with my cert. I can get to the site from safari (trusted my certificate from within safari). Thoughts?

Also sitting behind reverse proxy nginx that redirects to in network HA VM. Works through browser but it makes a few 301\302 hops.

Using self signed certificates with iOS apps is not possible unless we start doing verification ourselves which is not worth the trouble + the risk of doing it wrong and thus exposing everyone.

To get a valid certificate you can use Let’s Encrypt. This should be able to get going for everyone except if your ISP is blocking port 80 or 443. If you’re in the latter group we will be unable to help you.

Same issue here. Installed today, entered all criteria

Notes:
using http not https
using custom port 8123
using api password
location tracking on
show all groups on

I am seeing the View with all the relevant data behind for a split second with a message “Connected to realtime HA Api!” but the Settings view pops up saying there is a “Connection error” right after and repeats.

Latest build last night V1 (24) fixed the issue for me. Does not crash now.
