11 months ago Hi Pascal,
I think the problem is the following: When you run the app on your phone, the app tries to connect to localhost:8090. But this is the phone localhost and not the localhost of the pc where PocketBase ist running. You have to compile the phone app with the correct ip address of your pc. This is most probably something like 192.168.0.xxx. Please check this to be sure about the address.
So your build command should look like this:
flutter build apk --dart-define=SHOPPINGLIST_HOST=http://192.168.0.xxx:8090
If you look at the README.md, I made a paragraph about this. Search for Important.
You can also try to run the app on your pc. This should work on Windows, Linux and macOS. This might be easier for the start. There is also a paragraph about run configurations in VSCode to handle this.
Another idea is to run PocketBase on fly.io as I do it. There is a detailed description how to do this in the PocketBase repo here on github. This works really good and costs nothing. I use it for several months now and can't complain. When you run PocketBase outside of your pc on a real domain (public ip address), you don't have these problems and the url for your PocketBase server is always the same.
Hope this helps

Hi, I'm a flutter/dart newbie and last week I found out about your shoppinglist app on flutterawesome.com. I thought it was a fun and useful project so that on Monday I embarked into trying to understand your code and the architecture you've chosen. I unzipped the file, installed it, and started to check it with AndroidStudio as an IDE connected to my mobile phone. I have installed pocketbase, which I have also been discovering... then for the past day and half I've been stuck at the login page and I was wondering if you would have any idea of what I did wrong.
From pocketbase, I've created a couple of users and collection named shoppinglist which I fed with a few articles. Navigating with pocketbase, these are associated with the following url : http://127.0.0.1:8090/_/#/collections?collectionId=_pb_users_auth_&filter=&sort=-created and http://127.0.0.1:8090/_/#/collections?collectionId=3mv593ieqawcouz&filter=&sort=-created.
However, when, from the IDE, I run the app on my phone I cannot pass the login page. The error I get is ClientException: {url: http://localhost:8090/api/collections/users/auth-with-password, isAbort: true, statusCode: 0, response: {}, originalError: ClientException with SocketException: Connection refused (OS Error: Connection refused, errno = 111), address = localhost, port = 41496, uri=http://localhost:8090/api/collections/users/auth-with-password}
The port number varies, but the rest of the error message is unchanged. I have not found error number list on Pocketbase so that I cannot fully identify errno = 111, while "Connection refused" is rather broad. The app login requests do reach pocket_base_prov.dart/login method but final authData = await _pb.collection('users').authWithPassword(email, password); does not seem to fill the variable, if I trust a set of debugPrint(); positioned before and after the corresponding line.
I guess I did not set the communication between pocketbase and the app properly. At the same time installing pocketbase is rather straightforward as there is no external host, so that I'm a bit stuck, so that I've thought about reaching to you in case you would have any suggestion.
Many Thanks & Best Wishes PAscal
