SUMMARY *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. LINUX: Kill kdeconnectd 2. LINUX: Delete all config files for kdeconnect 3. LINUX: Reopen kdeconnect 4. iOS: Open kdeconnect. See that the computer is available for pairing. 5. iOS: Press the pair button on the computer's icon. 6. LINUX: Accept the pair notification. 7. iOS: Attempt to use the kdeconnect functions. For me, remote input seems to function, while send photos just shows an uncertain progress bar endlessly on the computer screen, even for a single image. 8. iOS: Go back to the main screen and swipe the whole screen down to refresh devices. See that the computer you just paired to is now categorized as "remembered" (but not connectable). Further refreshing will show a flash of green as the desktop device appears again, but it immediately vanishes. OBSERVED RESULT I can no longer connect to my laptop without deleting all the kdeconnect configuration files, and even if I do so it still does not enable me to send images. EXPECTED RESULT I would be able to repeatedly connect to the same device and use all available functions. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: 6.46 generic KDEConnect Desktop Version: Unknown (am on GNOME, do not know how to find this) iOS app version: 0.3.0 (9) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I am on a dorm network. My laptop is connected via ethernet. I know that direct connections over the wifi are allowed (because I have a Jellyfin server that works pretty much fine), but I do not keep a static IP on my laptop, and I do not have access to any router-level configuration. I have openvpn installed and would be interested in using it if by doing so I can circumvent this issue. That said, I have seen the help article on using it and I realize that there is no iOS client mentioned, which may make this route impossible. I am also willing to attempt to run a laptop-hosted wifi hotspot if this will fix the issue.
I can confirm I have this issue as well.
I also have a similar issue, I was able to pair once, but I haven't been able to again. I've tried disabling the firewall and manually entering my laptops ip in the ios app. A fresh install of the apps doesn't work either.

Try going into advanced settings and erasing saved cache and certificate. Then re-pair. That worked for me.
