After messing up with some plugins trying to make `WKWebView` working without success, my app on every device but the browser throws this error

> Application Error net::ERR\_CONNECTION\_REFUSED ([http://localhost:0/](http://localhost:0/))

- I removed cordova-plugin-webserver
- `ionic run` doesn’t work, `ionic run -l` works  
Anyone has any clue on what’s going on?

These are my plugins

```

Can you check for this line in AndroidManifest.xml

```
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
```

Thanks for your help, yes is there.  
This problem happens on ios too, so I guess it shouldn’t be something related to Cordova instead of a specific platform

It is weird that the app wants to connect to [http://localhost:0/](http://localhost:0/). ? Do you call localhost in your code, or is this some plugin call?

Looking at the edits history of config.xml I found that I had `<content src="http://localhost:0"/>` (livereload?) but it gave me the same error with `<content src="index.html"/>`

Removing `twitter-connect-plugin` solved my issue, still don’t know why since it has always been in my project without giving any problem.
