Unable to reconnect after Companion restart on MacOS

[ChrisSW58]

Describe the bug
On MacOS, when Companion is stopped and restarted, screendesk cannot reconnect even though all the settings are the same. Stuck on Trying to connect. Stopping it trying to connect and re-saving the settings has no effect.

To Reproduce
Stop Companion and restart

Expected behavior
screendesk should reconnect with the existing settings

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS:MacOS Sequoia 15.3
• Version [e.g. 22] screendesk 1.1.0

Additional context
Only way around I have found is to uninstall and reinstall screendesk - even a restart does not fix the issue. Nice app by the way - well done! 👏🏻

Quitting ScreenDeck and reopening after companion is running - does that work?

Oh. You said it doesn’t. Sorry. This is interesting. I’m not experiencing that on my end. Is companion running locally or somewhere else on the network?

Thanks for prompt reply - Locally - 127.0.0.1:8000

Same here. What version of Companion?

[ChrisSW58]

Latest beta - 3.5.0 7659

[josephdadams]

I'm not seeing it on that version or greater either. Could there be a firewall or similar in effect?

[ChrisSW58]

Interesting - and I would think that if that were the case it would not run at all. It runs very well when first installed... If you can't recreate it I would suggest closing this. If I find out any further information that could be useful, I'll let you know....

Let's keep it open for a while and see if anyone else is experiencing it also.
