Answer 1

Where are you putting your Parse.initialize? Just went for some digging on parse4cn1 and it seems that it needs to be inside a "initVars" function, usually created within a state machine as you can see in the example below:

public class StateMachine extends StateMachineBase {
    /**
     * this method should be used to initialize variables instead of
     * the constructor/class scope to avoid race conditions
     */
    protected void initVars(Resources res) {
         Parse.initialize(API_ENDPOINT, APP_ID, CLIENT_KEY);
    }

}

Maybe that can help you on this connection issue. Also check the link below (A very useful guide) for further info:

Answer 2

What keys are you using? You need to pass your App Id and Client Key to parse4cn1. I just ran the regression tests against back4app and I didn't get any connection error. Can you provide more details (e.g. a dump) of the error you're getting?
