No, what you changed in your new update is obviously caused by a bug with it. You can find the source of the problem only if you focus on what you are updating. If it is a problem that cannot be solved, activate the old version until the problem is solved.  
Thanks.

Thanks @doctorsof - we’re still actively working on a fix for this, but haven’t released anything yet.

We’ll keep everyone updated in this topic as soon as we ship an update for the “Device is Online?” Block.

Thanks!

ok…this thread is for users who are having issues with the [`Device is online?`](http://community.thunkable.com/t/in-progress-device-is-online-block-disables-all-buttons-on-screen/690009/2) block.

Are you looking of the thread about [Thunkable Live crashes](http://community.thunkable.com/t/fixed-for-android-thunkable-live-app-crashing/687808/134)? This has been fixed for Android and we’re just waiting on Apple to approve the update for iOS.

Thanks.

Thanks @actech - the update in v205 was specifically prevent crashes when Thunkable Live was closed and then re-opened.

We’re still actively working on the “Device is Online” issue.

As of yesterday, I noticed that all the blocks in the device group do not work!  
PS: Android and iOS tests have been performed

Would you test it on a device!  
Live test or instal app.

 ![Android](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/8/7/874dbae49a5228e589dbadc8bd92230a5648824c.png) ![iOS](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/c/b/cb29807b7880b28a7215fad9d6aa07a54e5ba576.jpeg)

Am I the only one facing this problem?

The problem occurs after updating the live test application. With the old version there is no problem with a live test, but after installing the test application the problem exists.

Does anyone have the same problem?  
Why doesn’t anyone react?  
However, there are over 15,000 new users. Where are you?

@Balanced_Kitchen, I’m going to merge your topic in with this one because (hopefully!) they are both part of the same thing.

Android companion v206 is on the Google play store and v205 is on the App Store.

For Android users, can you try out this companion [v206](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thunkable.live)?

iOS users, please try [v205](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/thunkable-live/id1223262700)

Can anyone confirm if that fix the `Device is Online` issue?

This did not solve it for me - i’m still experiencing the error.

I also get an error message from my WebAPI.  
It returns the error that the target isn’t https - when it is could this be a clue?

I’ve tested the livetesting on both ios and android. Is device online works in the Web-tester, but not WebAPI.  
I’ve also downloaded the apk to andrid and it crashes right away.

Ok. it sounds like you’re having an issue with the WebAPI component? If that’s the case can you start (or bump) another topic please?

At the moment, in this topic, we’re trying to make sure that the `Device is Online?` block is working for everyone.

Is the `Device is online?` block working ok for you after the latest update @orgelman?

No - the `Device is online?` block does not work in the live testing-apps or the downloaded apk, but in web testing.

I included the WebAPI as a possible source of error…
