XTension DB Corruption Problem?

[James Sentman]

HI George,

Multiple hosts in no-ip are not necessary at all. It wont hurt any though but thats not necessary.

Yes, you can create multiple JSON interfaces in XTension. That should be no problem, but it will have to be on a different port and you’ll have to pass that other port through to XTension through the router and you’ll have that different port number setup properly in the 2 configurations in the 2 different apps.

It really shouldn’t help though. I’ll send you the debugging version of the JSON interface here in a few moments so you can at least get reports of hung connections or any such thing that might be happening.

You really shouldn’t need different tokens for them either, it should be no problem to have the exact same link in both places.

It’s my suspicion though that having both apps on wont make any difference to the reliability of the thing unfortunately. Though I’ve not actually developed against this API from apple I’ve read the docs. There just isn’t much work on the part of the individual app to go wrong. It will be the same system table of geofences that the OS is walking down to service when it wants to. And if it doesn’t do that, then it wont work for both apps rather than just one or the other. I’m not certain of course and if the developers of the apps say differently then perhaps there is. But if one failed I would expect the other to fail too.

You (And others) may tell me right now this won’t work either. There certainly was no problem creating four hosts in NoIP, and I had both Apps installed and working on both phones and successfully sending test requests. Then, for some reason everything stopped working 3 days ago.

I’ve been trying to fix this thing for 3 days, when late yesterday, I decided to delete and recreate the XTension json interface, and that resolved 3/4 of the problem. I now have back both Apps successfully sending Test Requests on my phone, but for some unknown reason, I can only get Geofancy working on my wife’s phone now and not Geohopper as before.
