I love Spark Inspector but they just don't respond to support requests. Because it uses Bonjour to connect your app to the Inspector, if you are on a corporate LAN, the Bonjour publish often fails. The only work-around is to disable your network completely while debugging and re-enabling your networking after establishing a connection just causes the established connection to be severed. Much sadface for an otherwise wonderful debugger.
- bengotow 13y agoHey! Author of the app here—sorry you've had trouble reaching me. I agree that Bonjour is a poor solution for corporate networks. I've always hoped that time would resolve those sort of issues (routers not supporting Bonjour's DNS packets, etc...) but it's been years and it's still a problem. At the moment I'm not sure what other technology the Spark Inspector could use. I'd like to make it talk through LLDB entirely, and the latest update is a step in that direction, but there are many steps left to go. Thanks for your post—feel free to reach out to me at my primary email bengotow@gmail.com if you need anything.
- United857 13y agoCould a lightweight TCP server/client running on localhost work? Just wondering.
- zomgbbq 13y agoWhy not make the Inspector app listen on a predefined port? With no configuration (like if launched from Xcode) the client-app could try to connect to inspector at localhost on that port. Otherwise, do what PonyDebugger does and allow you specify a specific host/port via a singleton object.
