VS extension doesn't give me any session ID

[wes-goulet]

When I launch the VS extension it doesn't show me any session ID, it's just blank.

I should mention that even if I click "Connect" it still doesn't give me a session id

Also, this is on Windows 10 build 10130 with VS2015 RC

Yes, I'm having the same issue with VS2013, if I put in a matching session id I still can't connect. Is there anything special that needs to be done? Does it matter what project is open?

I actually got this to work... I just had to put in some made up session ID in VS window, then click connect, then on the phone apps I put in the same session ID and hit connect and it seems to work. I originally thought the VS plugin would give me a session ID but I guess you just make up your own.

I'm not having any luck. When I create some ransom Session ID, then press connect, it freezes for a moment then does nothing. Disconnect button is still disabled. If I put the same ID in the app, and press connect, it seems to indicate that it is connected (but doesn't actually do anything).

Actually, I just noted I can put in whatever I want in the app and it says that it is connected

EDIT: Seems to be working now. It may have been a proxy issue inside my corp network

Both VS and device just connect to a signalr hub in azure. That doesn't
require the other end to be connected, that's why you can connect the
device to a "session" without having VS successfully connected too.

The error seems to be on the VS side. If it's not suggesting a default
session id, that may be a symptom: I use a hash of the mac address to
generate it, so either VS doesn't have permissions to get that data, our
you are running on a VM without any configured network hardware, or
something :).

You can just grab the source and debug the extension to determine the root
cause.

Latest release might have fixed problems. FWIW, installed the APK on the VS Android Emulator and the VSIX in VS 2015. Took a while for the player and VS to find each other but it now shows my form on the android emulator when I save the xaml in VS.
