Hello Jacque, What Android version does your device run? A rough guess is that the problem is security/permissions related. On Android 9+ there is something equivalent to iOS ATS that blocks connections that do not comply with some security standards. You can workaround this by adding a suitable entry to the Android manifest.
See "Option 2" in this bug report: https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=22400 Kind regards, Panos -- On Mon, 4 Nov 2019 at 23:40, J.
