ARP and PINGs not working iOS #5

Closed geah70 closed 7 years ago

geah70 commented 9 years ago

Hello, I am attempt to get this working on my iOS device but I am having issues: 1) My iPhone has a static IP address when on WiFi but I noticed that the ARP cache entry for my iPhone isn't removed from the ARP cache automatically when I disable my WiFi on the iPhone. The ARP cache entry is only removed when I attempt to PING the static IP of the phone 2) Since ARP was not working, I attempted to use the --noarp paramter. However, the iPhone doesn't respond to PING when it goes to sleep mode.

How did everyone else get their autoaway script working? I was looking at the app called Skylark but it isn't Android compatible and I intend to Android and iPhones at my house.

Thanks in advance.

If the phone stops responding to ping even though it's still on, there's really not very much I can do as that's pretty much an essential requirement for the script to function. I think you'll need to find another solution that runs on the phone itself (or maybe just find a better phone..).
