There was a problem analyzing the iOS device

Quick Detailed

Quick Troubleshooting

Before we get started, double-check that your child’s device is turned on, unlocked, and connected to your home Wi-Fi.

  1. Make sure your Mac or Windows computer is on and awake.
    If you're using the Bark Home, you can skip this step.
  2. See if Bark can detect the device over Wi-Fi.
    From your Bark parent app, tap the monitoring tile, then look for

  5. Verify that Bark is detecting the device when it's plugged in.

Pro Tips

  • Newer iOS devices may ask for a lockscreen passcode on each analysis. We know this isn't ideal, but Apple has made even more strict rules about device access. To avoid entering the passcode, consider turning it off or adjusting the auto-lock settings
  • Analyses will happen automatically and wirelessly but you can always manually start one if needed.
  • If using the Bark Desktop App, adjust your computer's sleep settings (Windows / Mac) to ensure the computer and device can always communicate.
  • Firewalls and VPNs on the computer can impact analyses through the Bark Desktop App.
  • Work computers can impact analyses through the Bark Desktop App. Try using a personal computer.
