This is the Windows Socket error WSAENOBUFS:

“An operation on a socket could not be performed because the system lacked sufficient buffer space or because a queue was full”

Not sure. Are you connecting over wifi or usb? Android or iOS? Has it ever worked? Perhaps a firewall issue?

Over Wifi, and it’s worked before. I didn’t know USB was an option, will try that!

It is. Check Windows instructions for iOS and Android here: [Running the development app on device](https://defold.com/manuals/dev-app/#connecting-to-an-ios-device-using-usb-on-windows)

Were you able to connect before? Sometimes when things with building to devices over wifi have seemingly broken completely restarting things has helped.

Yeah, restarted the Mac. Now it works both over Wifi and USB. Nice!
