Trying to use Realm Object Server Tutorial

Question

I have created an Amazon Web Services EC2 instance and deploy one of the AMIs with a Realm Object Server as its documentation explains: https://realm.io/docs/realm-object-server/#install-realm-object-server

Once installed and created my admin user, I have completed the iOS tutorial: https://realm.io/docs/tutorials/realmtasks/, just until point 7, enough for creating task, but when I add new task in app, nothing happens. Debugging, I notice that next sentence try, is not executing:

let items = self.items
try! items.realm?.write {
                items.insert(Task(value: ["text": text]), at: items.filter("completed = false").count)
            }

The items collection seems to be initialized properly:

In the ROS dashboard, can see the database referenced in Xcode:

In image can be see "Default permissions" property is no access, is this the reason of not creating new task? If so, how can I change that permissions? If that is not the reason, anyone could help me?

thanks in advance

The problem was that I did not follow al the complete tutorial because I do not want to use the desktop application, just mobile example, but realm init objects in desktop app, so I never got a valid realm where perform actions.

For a quick and simple start with this realm tutorial pointing to an online server, not local, you must initialize the TaskList object and add it to self.realm on setup

            // Show initial tasks
            func updateList() {
                if self.realm.objects(TaskList.self).count == 0 {

                    let list = TaskList()
                    list.id = "000001"
                    list.text = "lista de prueba"

                    // Add to the Realm inside a transaction
                    try! self.realm.write {
                        self.realm.add(list)
                    }

                }
                if self.items.realm == nil, let list = self.realm.objects(TaskList.self).first {
                    self.items = list.items
                }
                self.tableView.reloadData()
            }

checking if there is not a TaskList with if self.realm.objects(TaskList.self).count == 0 {, you can create one and init realm.
