So even with an ethernet adapter I still can't connect. Would there be a reason everything else works but homebrew store "won't connect to the internet"? Tried reinstalling homebrew app. Just wheel of death at the beginning and then says it can't connect.

Hey, did you find any solution for this? Cant connect too

If you can get regular Internet access, I would be surprised to hear that the app isn't able to connect.

These errors display when the repo URLs can't be reached: https://gitlab.com/4TU/hb-appstore/-/blob/master/gui/MainDisplay.cpp#L63-82

The FAQ page probably isn't too useful, basically suggests trying a connection test: https://faq.fortheusers.org/#says-no-internet-is-present

I would suggest checking if the web version at https://apps.fortheusers.org loads properly on the same network and DNS server.

You can also try entering recovery mode, by pressing L/R repeatedly while the hb-appstore launches. This mode has more generous error handling: https://gitlab.com/4TU/hb-appstore/-/blob/master/console/Menu.cpp#L166-171

Recovery mode also has a "Reset data" option which may help if the repos file is corrupted, but it's probably overkill to try this option, instead of just checking the repos file. This file is located at sd:/switch/appstore/.get/repos.json and should be pointed at https://switchbru.com/appstore . Deleting this file causes it to be re-generated on the next launch.

Hi, i was able to get into the Recovery Mode. "Couldnt find any package in any repos". Data reset didnt help. The web Version loads. I can play quakenx online and the rest of my homebrew Apps connect Just fine. Connection Test in Switch settings gives me an Error cause im blocking all big n Servers. Reconnect or switching Form flightmode didnt help.

Any others ideas?

vgmoose · Oct 25, 2021

I'm not really sure. Did you try deleting the repos.json or resetting hb-appstore via recovery?

If you could use a web browser app like browsenx to make sure that apps.fortheusers.org works on the console too that might help troubleshoot if the console can connect to the repo site. What method are you using for blocking servers?

bruteX · Oct 25, 2021

Yes i used recovery to reset appStore data.
Im using every single methode to block the servers (90dns, incognito, host file and exosphere).

I tested browser capability yesterday and every browser App or hook results in a systemcrash oO. Im still able to use Others online homebrew features (YouTube, Auto Update, etc.)

Edit: the Problem was the custom hostfile. If you use 90dns as a service everything works fine.

vgmoose · Nov 14, 2021

I think the issue is specifically some custom host files contain lines that block the formats:

Code:

switch*.*
*switch*.*

Which are regexes that match:

Code:

switchbru.com

which is the current primary repo domain.

You should be free to continue using dns-mitm and replace the "90DNS" blocking section of the hosts file with the following: https://nh-server.github.io/switch-guide/files/emummc.txt

These are the domains that 90DNS blocks anyway. I'm guessing that there's a pack out there distributing a more restrictive set of rules, accidentally blocking hb-appstore in the process.

EDIT: the main file is in sd:/atmosphere/hosts/default.txt , and also has other paths here.

Why can't you download certain apps in the switch appstore even if they are available if you click on download?
