Ipad app 'cannot detect any primary machine'

Can you make sure that both devices (Macbook and iPad) are in the same Local Network? The ping should work if they are in the same Local Network.

From the ping instructions I sent and the result you gave, this means that your iPad is not seeing your Primary Machine in your Network. This is not an issue of spacedesk, but an issue with your device or your network. You can try to check if your Primary Machine’s firewall is preventing it from being discoverable from the network.
