ScoreCam connects to Scoreboard Remote using Bluetooth (Multipeer Connectivity). No pairing code or Wi-Fi router is required — the two apps discover each other automatically as long as Bluetooth is enabled on both devices.

If Scoreboard Remote is not finding ScoreCam, check these in order:

1. Confirm Bluetooth is enabled on both devices — iOS Settings → Bluetooth → ON.
2. Confirm Bluetooth permission for both apps — iOS Settings → [App name] → Bluetooth → ON. This is the most common silent failure cause.
3. Make sure the Remote button in ScoreCam’s toolbar is highlighted blue (advertising). Without this step, Scoreboard Remote cannot find ScoreCam.
4. Bring the devices within 30 feet of each other. Initial discovery is more reliable at close range.
5. If either app is in the background, bring it to the foreground. iOS restricts Bluetooth advertising from background apps.
6. Force-quit and reopen both apps, then try again.
7. Make sure both apps are on the latest version — open the App Store and check for updates.
