Remote Access not work on OS X Yosemite

by Vulcan » Thu Jan 15, 2015 7:59 pm

Hi
Remote access has worked excellent for several months but today I updated to OS X Yosemite and then Remote access stop working and I get ERROR -1001 on my iPhone.
The only way to get it to work is to disable the firewall completely and it does not feel good to be without a firewall.
Would you like to look at this new problem, I'd be grateful.
Regards / Per

Hi Vulcan,

Unfortunately the OSX firewall is simply broken as far as we can tell. Our application is signed with an apple certificate - you can verify that it is signed from the command line with the command "codesign -vvv /Applications/Sighthound\ Video.app". If an application is signed all traffic should be automatically allowed. Even if it wasn't signed, or wasn't properly signed, the firewall should be displaying the Allow/Deny popup. This post describes some of the odd behavior we were previously experiencing, which other applications have reported as well: http://www.sighthound.com/forums/topic11526

Regards,

Hi Devin
Thanks for the reply.
I have read topic11526 and understand that there is a problem with the firewall.
We Mac owners will have to wait for a solution so we can use the firewall in the future.
