TCP example application failing to connect on Tracker One

rickkas7, thanks so much for your prompt reply. I did try running the example code verbatim as a starting point. I have since adjusted the code to have the IP 8.8.8.8 which I believe is the IPv4 address of googles servers. I tried the example code listed above with the address changed to:

byte server[] = { 8, 8, 8, 8 }; // Google

This did not work. I wasn't sure if the cell modem was appropriately initialized so I tried to run the TCP example code on top of the tracker-edgeV15 software for the Tracker One:

#include "Particle.h"

#include "tracker_config.h"
#include "tracker.h"
#include <fcntl.h>

SYSTEM_THREAD(ENABLED);
SYSTEM_MODE(SEMI_AUTOMATIC);

PRODUCT_ID(TRACKER_PRODUCT_ID);
PRODUCT_VERSION(TRACKER_PRODUCT_VERSION);


STARTUP(
    Tracker::startup(););

SerialLogHandler logHandler(115200, LOG_LEVEL_TRACE, {
                                                         {"app.gps.nmea", LOG_LEVEL_INFO},
                                                         {"app.gps.ubx", LOG_LEVEL_INFO},
                                                         {"ncp.at", LOG_LEVEL_INFO},
                                                         {"net.ppp.client", LOG_LEVEL_INFO},
                                                     });

TCPClient client;
byte server[] = { 8, 8, 8, 8 }; // Google

void setupTCP()
{
  Log.info("connecting...");

  if (client.connect(server, 80))
  {
    Log.info("connected");
    client.println("GET /search?q=unicorn HTTP/1.0");
    client.println("Host: www.google.com");
    client.println("Content-Length: 0");
    client.println();
  }
  else
  {
    Log.info("connection failed");
  }
}

void loopTCP()
{
  if (client.available())
  {
    char c = client.read();
    //Log.info(c);
  }

  if (!client.connected())
  {
    //Serial.println();
    Log.info("disconnecting.");
    client.stop();
    for(;;);
  }
}

void testFileOpen()
{
    int fd = open("test.txt", O_RDWR | O_CREAT | O_TRUNC);
    if (fd != -1)
    {
        Log.info("opened");
        close(fd);
    }
    else
    {
        Log.info("not opened");
    }
}

void setup()
{
    waitFor(Serial.isConnected, 30000);
    testFileOpen();

    Tracker::instance().init();
}

void loop()
{
    Tracker::instance().loop();

    if(millis()>120000)
    {
        setupTCP();
        loopTCP();
    }
}

Here is the output log from this code (as much as my serial logger CoolTerm stores):

Do you have any suggestions for getting the TCP connection to work with the Tracker one? My overall goal is to perform an operation similar to that described by CanCon_ENG as described here: Best way to update local device with Particle - #3 by rickkas7

Thanks so much for your help and support!
