Network Timeout

Last modified: May 6, 2025

Introduction

Network request timeout is a crucial configuration parameter for mobile applications that helps handle slow or unreliable network conditions. Setting appropriate timeout values ensures the following:

  • Better app responsiveness
  • Enhanced user experience
  • Proper error handling during network issues

Default Timeout

The default timeout value for network requests in Mendix mobile applications is 60000 milliseconds (60 seconds).

Excluded Network Requests

Exclusions ensure that complex operations (like data synchronization and server-side processing) can complete without interference from the general timeout settings.

The following operations are excluded from the configured timeout settings:

  • Data Synchronization Operations — all synchronize_objects calls
  • Microflow Runtime Operations — all runtimeOperation calls
