struggling with this api currently. this looks correct, but I never seem to get a response. also building for iOS unsuccessfully. Their demo apps work so it does respond somehow...

I have tried the Android API example but it cannot find the device. I have an A6000 and I have not idea what to set on the camera to make it discovered. Could you please help?
