Cannot connect to selfhostet anytype with iphone

What do you need help with?

I host anytype on my local laptop(Linux) and cannot connect to it with my wife’s iPhone.

Current workflow:

  • I install anytype on the iPhone.
  • On the logging screen I tap on the gear sign
  • A menu appears. I can choose “Anytype”(prechosen) “Only local” and at the very bottom “Add selfhostet network”. (acctually “Selbstgehostetes Netzwerk hi…”.)
  • I tap on the last one. I get to the “on my Iphone” can choose between folders that other programms use for datastorage (datasychronisation?) and the “config.yml”-file, I stored there before.
  • When I tap on that, I get back to the “Network”-menu without any change.

A similar approach works with linux and android devices.

P2P doesn’t work either. It did, But when my wife added a new space on the phone, it did not synchronize with the other devices and now sits the in a limbo and cannot be remove.

I am not very familiar with iOS devices, so I am sorry if I look like a complete DAU.

Could you show the contents of the .env.override file?

Hi, I’m facing the same issues. Is there a workaround or a solution in near future?
