Hi Björn,

Wanted to try your app.

Looks nice!

I have Paperless running without an SSL certificate. Is this required, because I receive an error when I try to access Paperless.

Hi James, 

normally not - I tried both iOS and Android on a local test system with http://ip-address:port - it worked. 

Regards,
Björn

Thanks Björn,

Strange. Tried on iPad and iPhone, both connection error.

The Paperless app connects without a problem.

The Error-Message is useless - my fault. I will add in the next version 0.5.8 more information on failure. Next we can debug.

Hi Björn,

this is the error.

I am sure ip-address:port is right, because Paperless uses the same.

Good Morning James,

Thanks for the technical details. I see that your iPhone is connected to wifi (no vpn etc). Your setup appears to be a local (home) network, where the server / paperless-ngx instance is hosted within the network.

In my home lab this setup works (iPhone - router - paperless-ngx instance). Could you please verify whether it also works for you by opening the URL in Safari?

Thanks,
Björn

Hi Björn,

Pffff, solved..

In the settings I saw the app was not permitted to access the local network.

Can't remember I formidabel this.

Anyway, the app looks good, if you are looking for someone to translate It to Dutch, let me know.

Great to hear! Maybe I can read this "denied" and display some advice. Will check that! 
Dutch Translation would be great - will think about it. 

Cheers
Björn

*formidabel = forbid 

I don't think the app asked permission to access the local network, but I might be wrong.

Thanks for your work!
