Is a cable based connection to a mobile device officially supported?#
Yes, for OneX. No, for OneR & OneX2. Even so the functionality is implemented at an unsupported level and you may try but expect unstable results.
Can the app be used with a cable based connection?#
Yes. But it depends if you use an Android or iOS device. If you use Android you are on the save side and you "only" need need either a special transfer/streaming cable like for the OneX, or have to first power on your camera & start the app before connecting the USB cable.
If you are on iOS you also need a camera version only sold as "Apple Bundle" which provides the needed iOS USB-mode.
What makes the cable special?#
The special streaming/transfer cable for the OneX is a double sided OTG cable (Android) and a MFI certified cable with a microUSB OTG side (iOS).
Is it possible to live stream over Wi-Fi?#
Yes. But you need a cable based connection to your camera.
Cable vs Wi-Fi#
Asking about the advantages of a cable based connection those are very limited.
