SUMMARY *** No connect when devices is locked *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. iOS15.4 + App Version 0.2.1(2) 2. Pair the iOS devices 3. lock one device No connection until both devices are unlocked EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS iOS: 15.4 App Version: 0.2.1(2)
Facing the same issue. I am on windows 11 and iOS 15.4.1. I was able to get it to work just once. To make it work I had to 1. Close the app on both the devices 2. Re connect to the same network on both the devices But after some time when my phone got locked(as it happens automatically when it stays idle for sometime), the connection between my phone and laptop was broken. The devices did not reconnect after unlocking. So I followed the steps mentioned above hoping that it would work again but this time the it did not work. Laptop - Windows 11 Phone - iOS 15.4.1 App version - 0.2.1(2)
Update: The behavior of the issue is different when auto-lock is disabled. That is on unlocking the phone the connection is re-established automatically. I don't have to follow the above mentioned steps to make it work
Hi! Unfortunately KDE Connect iOS currently doesn't work when the app is the background, and I'm glad you've found a workaround. There are some development on supporting background activity though, so this might be possible sometime in the future. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 447195 ***
