iOS creating local server to run application

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

Hello there!

I’m running my application in an iOS device and the device is just creating a local server to run the application. This is screwing up my connection with the server.

Does anyone know how to solve this?

How do you connect to that server? Using localhost?

Wkwebview indeed creates a sandboxed server to serve the webapp, which shpuld not give issues connecting to other endpoints using http

@Tommertom thanks for your answer.
Right now it is trying to use localhost because iOS is creating a local server to serve the app, my question is: can iOS run it like android does? Without creating a local server?

Well, I was forced to enable CORS on my api. I didn’t really wanted to do that, but I had to.

For anyone who would be looking for this solution, in Laravel 5.5:

app/http/middleware

<?php
// /app/Http/Middleware/Cors.php 
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
 
use Closure;
 
class Cors {
    public function handle($request, Closure $next)
    {
        return $next($request)
            ->header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', 'http://localhost:8080') //or the url you want. * for all urls
            ->header('Access-Control-Allow-Methods', 'GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS');
    }
}

bootstrap/app.php:

$app->middleware([ //add this to your file
    App\Http\Middleware\Cors::class //or just add this line in case you are already using some middleware
 ]);
