Troubleshooting

Find the message you're seeing, then follow the fix.

Signing in

Sign-in doesn't return to the app

Keep I-IDE open while you finish in your browser. If it still doesn't complete, select Sign in again.

Joining a session

"session not found, or the invite isn't valid"

The link is incomplete or out of date. Ask the owner to use Copy invite link, and paste the whole link. A session ID alone isn't enough.

"the session owner declined this request"

The owner turned down this account. Contact them directly if that was a mistake.

"the session owner hasn't approved you yet"

I-IDE stopped waiting after 10 minutes. Ask the owner to check their panel, then open the invite link again.

"Couldn't reconnect. Join the session again from the people menu."

Your connection dropped and didn't recover. Check your network, then use Join session… from the people menu.

Sharing files

"Only the session leader can share files in this session."

Ask the leader to share them, or start a No leader session.

"… may hold secrets, so it isn't synced."

The file's name matches a protected pattern. Share what teammates need another way.

AI

"No AI model is set up."

Follow Set up your AI.

"This session has reached today's limit on the shared AI key."

The session used its daily allowance. Use My AI, or wait until the next day (UTC).

Shared previews

"Nothing answered on localhost:PORT"

The app isn't running on the sharer's computer, or the port is wrong. Start the app, or share again with the right port.

Extensions

Extensions don't install

The extension store isn't available in this version of I-IDE.
