Unable to connect to Internet now

[les-peters]

I am getting this error when I try to run the Steem app:

Service Unavailable
Restart the App once an Internet
Connection is available.

The app used to run in my simulator, and I am using the same
computer for it that I am using to write this, so there is network
connectivity. Also, it was able to connect previously.

Steemit keeps changing its websocket and it seems they have completely abolished the node.

I have put in piston.rocks for development:
54bd433

However, xeroc specifically requested that his websocket is only used for development. So we would not be able to release with this.

Long-term this project needs another open socket or do its own hosting of a node.

Please verify this solution.

It makes sense to have a local websocket, but there should be a means to change that in the code: either point to a local websocket for development (not sure how that works), or to point to Steemit itself for testing. I will contact xeroc to find out how they are doing their work.

Thanks.
