Connection Refused when trying to connect to iOS simulator

[ugiacoman]

Hey, I had ETTrace running really smoothly on macOS Sonoma and Xcode15.1. I just updated my computer to macOS Sequoia and Xcode 16 and now I am getting the following error:

ETTrace error: Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=61 "Connection refused"

Any ideas on how to resolve? Happy to contribute if this is a lightweight fix.

ps. I really appreciate y'all open sourcing this library. It's a game changer.

Hey @ugiacoman are you trying to connect to a simulator or physical device? I just tried it on sequoia with a simulator and didn't see this. Also, do you have the firewall enabled in System Settings under the network tab? If so could you try temporarily disabling that to see if it's related? There have been some reports of bugs in the firewall configuration of sequoia

Thanks @noahsmartin, I'm testing on simulator. I do have firewall enabled but the setting is configured by my company's profile. I don't have permissions to turn off the firewall 😅

@ugiacoman could you try on macOS 15.0.1? Apparently that fixed some of the firewall issues

I encountered same issue running on iOS Simulator with iOS 17.5 in macOS 15.3.
ETTrace is using embed and sign under General tab in Xcode Project settings.

ettrace --simulator
 
Please open the app on the simulator
Press return when ready...

Connecting to device.
