Revo Mirror on macOS Not Launching

Hi! New Inspire 2 user. Trying to use the WiFi capabilities with my iPhone 15 Pro Max and MacBook Pro M1. Installed Revo Metro and Revo Mirror on the MacBook, only Revo Mirror on the iPhone.

When I click on the Mirroring icon in Metro, the Revo Mirror app starts to load, the splash screen shows up, then just disappears and will not work or connect to my iPhone.

Go into Mirror on my phone and it wants me to create a connection using IP instead of seeing my MacBook.

What gives?

Hi @chadbrochills

RevoMirror currently doesn’t support the Tahoe, so there will be connections issue .

Please check the compatibility first

Let me know.

Well, that’s a bummer, I’m on Tahoe 26.3, considering that was a big selling point. Any idea of when it will be supported? Might have to return this thing if it’s going to be put off for a long time.

Hi @chadbrochills

Sorry to heard that :pensive_face:

I will have to ask the Dev team how long it will take to make it works , I will let you know ASAP.

Inspire 2 is working standalone on iPhone using RevoScan5 but only Full Field mode is available ( not powerful enough to support IR laser mode)

I am facing the same problem do we have a work around on it yet??

Hi @john8

The fix will be provided soon , probably at the end of this month .

I’m about to pull the trigger on this, but this would be crucial for me. Has there been any updates?

As I said already above your post by the end of the month begining of June .

Revo Mirror software specification stated that certain systems are not supported yet , it should not be a surprise to trigger anything . The team is working hard to make it available soon.

Hello, is there an estimated time for the update to be available?

Hi @Samuel21

It suppose to be released in the first part of June , I will have to check on the ETA this evening and get back to you .

macOS Tahoe 26.6 – RevoMirror Authentication and Pairing Issues (Workaround)

Hi everyone,

After spending several hours troubleshooting RevoMirror on macOS Tahoe 26.6, I managed to get it working. I hope this information helps other users experiencing the same issues.

Issue 1 – Authentication (“Host requires authentication”)

RevoMirror closed immediately after launch.

Running RevoMirror from Terminal showed the following error:

HttpManager::initHttpUser false, error info "Host requires authentication"

It appears that the problem is related to the API authentication between RevoMirror and Sunshine.

Sunshine stores its own API username and password. If these credentials already exist, RevoMirror attempts to create its own credentials but cannot authenticate correctly because another set already exists.

As a result, RevoMirror exits during startup.

How to verify the issue

Run RevoMirror from Terminal:

/Applications/RevoMirror.app/Contents/MacOS/RevoMirror

If you see:

HttpManager::initHttpUser false, error info "Host requires authentication"

then the issue is related to Sunshine API authentication.

Workaround

Close both applications:

pkill -f RevoMirror
pkill -f '/Applications/Sunshine.app/Contents/MacOS/Sunshine'

Remove only the Sunshine API credentials (this keeps all paired devices):

python3 - <<'PY'
import json, os

p=os.path.expanduser("~/.config/sunshine/sunshine_state.json")

with open(p) as f:
    d=json.load(f)

d.pop("username", None)
d.pop("password", None)
d.pop("salt", None)

with open(p,"w") as f:
    json.dump(d,f,indent=4)

print("Sunshine API credentials removed.")
PY

Start Sunshine:

open /Applications/Sunshine.app

Then start RevoMirror:

/Applications/RevoMirror.app/Contents/MacOS/RevoMirror

RevoMirror should automatically create a new API username and password inside Sunshine.


Issue 2 – PIN dialog never appears

After fixing the authentication issue, another problem appeared.

The iPhone displayed a pairing PIN, but RevoMirror on macOS never displayed the PIN entry dialog.

Because of this, the pairing process could not be completed from within RevoMirror.

Workaround

Pair the iPhone directly in Sunshine instead of waiting for the RevoMirror PIN dialog.

Once the device has been authorized in Sunshine, RevoMirror detects it correctly and the PIN is no longer required.


Summary

These two workarounds solved the problem completely for me:

  1. Reset the Sunshine API credentials so RevoMirror can recreate them automatically.
  2. If the PIN dialog never appears, pair the iPhone directly in Sunshine.

After performing these two steps, RevoMirror worked normally on macOS Tahoe 26.6.

Hopefully this helps someone else experiencing the same issues.
