Situation

"The application is already running. Multiple launches are not allowed." is displayed when trying to run autify mobile link start

[Mobile Link] 2026-02-18T07:30:55.693Z info error: Another instance is already running with PID: 3049
› Error: API connectivity check failed: Failed to access the server

Waiting for terminating (forever)...

Resolution

1. Check for dangling processes

Try the following troubleshooting steps:

Stop all currently active mobile link sessions by pressing Ctrl + c
Run the following command:

ps aux | grep "mobile link start" | grep -v grep

Check the output, and note any process IDs (PID) that are shown in the second column
In the below example, PIDs would be 68641 and 68628

＜Example＞
autify             68641   0.0  0.1 411668048  66032 s070  S+    4:55PM   0:00.22 /opt/homebrew/Cellar/autify-cli/0.62.0/libexec/bin/node /opt/homebrew/Cellar/autify-cli/0.62.0/libexec/bin/run mobile link start nYmF1n
autify             68628   0.0  0.0 410210544   3312 s070  S+    4:55PM   0:00.01 bash /opt/homebrew/bin/autify mobile link start nYmF1n

Run the following command for each PID

kill <PID>

※ Please try executing the command after replacing <PID> with the ID you confirmed in Step 3.
5. Repeat step 2 to confirm that no other Autify Mobile Link processes are running
6. Run autify mobile link start and try NoCode Mobile again
