Stuck on 'Attempting resolved connection to server.' after last update to FG on 2/25

[Nufebano6]

Can not join my campaign as I am stuck on 'Attempting resolved connection to server.' after last update to Fantasy Grounds on iOS, Sequoia 15.3.1 (please no giving me a hard time about using a Mac) on a 2023 M2.

I refreshed login creds and installed and reinstalled FG.

Please help!

Doing a quick search on Google I see that Sequoia 15.3.1 is reporting wifi connection dropping issues.

A couple things to try. Not a Mac user; so just talking high level here.
* Shut down machine completely, and reboot.
* Remove and readd network connection, especially wifi.
* Check firewall settings to make sure FG is not blocked

If none of that works, we have a Network Troubleshooting page on our wiki. It mostly boils down to check security software on machine, check router settings, and check ISP account settings.

If this is a LAN connection issue between two devices on the same LAN, then it is the same issue I recently had (which reminds me to post on that thread about my findings). It's related to a new feature in Mac OS Sequoia which requires a specific permission to connect to other devices on the local network. It seems to be fairly buggy. Importantly, my issue is a local machine permission to access the network and no amount of fiddling with the filewall or changing anything on the network will make it work.

Troubleshooting steps:
1. First, check firewall and network in case it's a one of the more common issues.

2. On the Mac check system settings -> privacy and security. Fantay grounds should be listed. If it is listed, turn on local network access. If it is alredy turned on, try turning the permission off and on again. For me it is not listed as it has either not asked for the permission correctly, or Mac oS has it confused with another piece of software such as other unity based software. For me, "humankind" requested local network access permissions when laucing fantays grounds, so clearly it was confused on attribution.

Workarounds:
1. Connect from a different network. If you are network savvy, create a different subnet.
For me, I have a guest WIFI network which is on a different subnet and that was sufficient.

2. Alternatively, launch fantasy groujnds fromthe terminal. Launch the terminal and launch FG with: /Applications/SmiteWorks/Fantasy\ Grounds/FantasyGrounds.app/Contents/MacOS/Fantasy\ Grounds
I can't check this because I did the below step, but it should work as applications launched from the terminal inherit the terminal's permissions.

3. Reinstall OS. I ended up doing this. It was pretty painless on my m1 pro laptop and I barely noticed any difference after reinstalling.

Actually, there was an issue with a few of the servers in the relay service we were using yesterday; and the developer there already took action to take down the problem servers and ramp up even more servers instead.
