Mobile: No hot reload and no database

[cdoebler]

I setup several basic Laravel Livewire Application with NativePHP Mobile on macOS Sequoia 15.5 and I do not have any hot reloads, when I change files in the watched directories and I cannot log in after seeding the database or access any database data via models or via DB facade. I tried to run on Androd and iOS Simulators and on an Android device and got the same results everywhere.

Is anybody experiencing the same problems and does somebody know how to fix them?

-> There is no hot reload option.
-> About DB, I don't face anything like this.
-> Best option to build a mobile app first develop an application as mobile-friendly, test it on the web, except for native features, and after everything is successful, then implement NativePHP requirements (My perspective).

Ok, thanks. Can you please tell me what OS and version you are using? Maybe there are some weird system restrictions on my side. I am using macOS Sequoia 15.5.

[codingwithrk]

Same OS I am using.
Can you try it on an external device? Maybe it can work on it.

If not, you don't mind, can we connect at 22:00 IST via Google Meet?

[cdoebler]

Thank you for the OS info.
I just tried it on an Android device and it didn't work.
Debugging mode started the application but I could not authenticate, just like in the simulator.

That's pretty generous, thank you. Unfortunately I am busy today. Do you think it would be possible some other day as well?

[codingwithrk]

Yeah sure at anytime. ☺️

[cdoebler]

Great. Thanks!

I don't work on the mobile project, but I do believe that when running in the simulator/build, it uses a different .sqlite file (nativephp.sqlite) which is why you would see a difference between browser and app.

Development should occur in the simulator where you can use Safari dev tools to connect and use the console.

[cdoebler]

Thanks for your answer. I already tried `database/nativephp.sqlite' as well, since I read about it somewhere in the docs and it didn't work. I just tried it again before writing this reply to make sure I didn't mistype the filename but unfortunetely there's no change.

[PeteBishwhip]

Thanks for trying. In that case, I think if you're looking for further assistance, some extra info is needed. Perhaps you could update your post and provide access to your code? If your code is not for public consumption, that's fine. Perhaps you could put together a repo with some example code that causes your issue where we can investigate further?

[cdoebler]

Sure. I will upload the repo. It's a fresh install anyway. Do you know whether I am allowed to add the whole nativephp directory to the repo or whether I am violating the NativePHP license in any way, when I publish the directory? Usually it's just Android and iOS specific code but I don't know whether NativePHP adds some licensed code as well.

[PeteBishwhip]

Yeah, you can't publish the nativephp folder publicly as it contains the proprietary code however, I have my own license (as do others) to be able to run the install processes.

[cdoebler]

Ok, thanks for the clarification.
The repo is at https://github.com/cdoebler/nativephp-mobile-test .
Do you need any further information?
