WhatsAppX on iOS 6 fails to reach a Mac mini server
v0.1.1 is being set up on an iOS 6 iPhone with a Mac mini acting as the server, but the setup does not finish. The Mac terminal shows both server parts as ready, skips the QR code step, and finds 152 chats from the cache.
When the iPhone moves to the next step, the app shows either a QR code loading failure or a TCP connection error. Server A is on a local 192.168.1.x address using port 7300, and Server B is also set to a address.
The iPhone can open the in Safari, so the devices are not fully cut off from each other. Running killall node to clear possible did not fix the issue, leaving the likely problem around the iOS 6 client, cache handling, or the setup screen refusing to use the active Mac session.
Key points
- The appears ready and finds 152 cached chats.
- The fails at the next step with a QR code error or TCP connection error.
- The iPhone can open the Mac’s local address in Safari, so basic network access works.
- Running killall node did not solve a possible port conflict.
- The likely issue is tied to the iOS 6 client, cache behavior, or the setup screen not accepting the active Mac session.
