Hello, this is my first post to this group and I am new to ODK - I
hope someone could help with a small problem.
I have set up a globalcanopyprogramme.appspot.com, created and
published forms, linked ODK collect to it, entered data on the mobile,
uploaded the data and visualised the results in fusion tables and all
is working fine.
However a colleague is in Guyana in the moment wanting to test the
forms I have created - he has tried to connect to the appspot and is
getting a message "Error Getting Form List" when trying to download
the forms to the phone.
The phone is exactly the same as mine here in the UK, a new Motorola
defy+ running the latest version of the ODK collect. We have checked
the URL is correct and the phone has wifi as it is accessing emails.
Has anyone any thoughts on why he can't access the forms. Any advice
would be much appreciated.

Hey jon,
Is it M.T. that is in the field? He discussed the project at a recent
conference. Exciting stuff!
I am also currently having the same problem running Aggregate 1.0 RC4
and Collect 1.1.7 RC2. However, a) I have solved this problem once in
the past with another aggregate and also b) developed a work around.
a) Once I had the Error Getting Forms List because I had my aggregate
permissions wrong. In aggregate, I had to create a new ODK user and
password and make sure the phones were all set to this new user.
Matching the phone user and password to the aggregate resolved the
error.
b) Even though you may not be able to download the forms, the forms
can be manually loaded onto the phones sd card and then data manually
submitted to the aggregate as long as the form id is the same. It is
definitely more cumbersome, but because I am working in areas without
service anyway, I am already manually loading and uploading forms and
instances.
I hope my two cents help,
Adam
