$http.post works in browser and on hardware but not in emulator

ionic-v1
1

Hello,

The code below works in browser and on iPhone 5s but not in the iOS emulator. I’m trying to figure out if it’s the emulator or something in ionic.

I have set the NSAppTransportSecurity in the Info.plist to be able to use http

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
	<key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
	<true/>
</dict>

and the code:

    accountRepo.register($scope.login.registryCode)
    .success(function(data){
        accountRepo.user = data;
        $scope.hideLoading();
        $state.go("setPin");
    })
    .error(function(err){
        console.log(err);
        $scope.hideLoading();
        alert("Incorrect registry code");
    });

and the repo

    app.factory('accountRepo', function($http) {
       return {
         token: {},
         register: function(registryCode) {
           return $http.post("http://localhost:9501/register",
           {"registryCode": registryCode} );
         },

The err parameter is null when the error occurs. I get nothing in the output in Xcode. Should I look somewhere else?
