Is the app still working? #2

Hi,

I have a CORS error as described here: https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/t/ttn-tracker-locator-see-where-a-gps-tracker-is-located-relative-to-your-location/40616

I don't understand much in web development, so my question is: is the "CORS proxy for TTN" setting (https://tracker-locator-to-ttn.herokuapp.com/) valid?

Best regards, Emmanuel

Hey Emmanuel,

I haven't used this project for some time, so I don't know if it is still working. I know that Heroku discontinued their free app hosting tier, so it might not be a surprise that the CORS proxy is not working. You might be able to plug a url of another CORS proxy or host your own. It is a popular open source package IIRC. Even with a proxy, there might be version changes that would break it. Nick mentioned something about V2 vs V3 TTN APIs. I don't know about that but you can try and let us know. I am not available to check or fix the project in the next few weeks. It is open for forks and PRs if somebody wants to bring this up to date.

Thank you, as a hardware guy, I don't know much in web development. I will try what you suggested. Don't worry, I don't ask to fix it, I just try to understand what is needed to make it work. I will try to do my best to find a solution. (I was today years old when I discovered what a CORS proxy is :-)
