Description

Description

Sometimes Proxyman stops displaying and analyzing requests/responses even though they keep flowing through it.
I have an iPhone configured to send all its requests to Proxyman (proxy configuration on the iPhone), and all works fine. At some point - not sure if it's related to deleting all requests on Proxyman or not - suddenly I stop seeing any requests/response on Proxyman, but browsing the internet on the iPhone still works! At this point - restarting Proxyman fixes the problem - which proves that the iPhone was still connected to the proxy (it rules out the option that the iPhone for some reason stopped sending requests to the proxy).

Steps to Reproduce

Unfortunately I don't have steps to make it happen. It just happens every once it a while. Not just to me - it happens to other colleagues in the office too.

Environment

  • App version: e.g Proxyman 5.9.0
  • macOS version: e.g macOS Sonoma 14.6.1

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by investigating why iPhone traffic continues through Proxyman while requests and responses stop appearing, including whether deleting requests triggers the failure; done means identifying a reproducible cause and verifying that capture and display resume without restarting the app.
