Meteor run-android device was working, made small web changes, no longer working ("connecting", "waiting")

help
1

I’m having trouble again with connecting my android device to my server (works on local LAN).

I am seeing ‘connected’ for a second or two but then I see ‘connecting’ then ‘waiting’. I have noticed now that in the verbose debug, the switch away from ‘connected’ to ‘connecting’ seems to happen at about the instant that the debug log reports about “restartServer”.

I’m mup-deploying with this env:

  "env": {
    "MONGO_URL": "mongodb://localhost:27017/my-app-name",
    "PORT": 3001,
    "ROOT_URL": "http://localhost"
  },

meteor run android-device --mobile-server http://myapp.com  -v

I am getting this result (notice restartServer near bottom):

Installing app on device...

I am running Ubuntu 14.04 on my development desktop, my development laptop, and my Digital Ocean server. I am running nginx 1.8.0 to proxy.

Can anybody advise?

I am having the same problem. App.accessRule doesn’t seem to always help

Take a look at this post: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/meteor-talk/72Rv67Cp5cg/9cu36TQaKp8J.

The documentation on running production mobile apps with a backend is not there yet, so we have to find the solutions ourselves.

It states that for your bundle(server) to contain the functionality needed for your mobile app you need to build having either the ios or android platform added to your project.

This has solved my hot code push problem. It works for my android and ios variant.
