I have a localhost website up at localhost:1336. When I run it on my simulator using Xcode, the app does not encounter any problem make a request to the localhost for data. But when I connect my iPhone via USB cable to the mac, and run the app on the iPhone device and makes the request, but then I get an error "Error- Could not connect to the server.".
I also confirmed that they are on the same Wi-Fi and using same IP. On Safari on my iPhone, I went to http://IPNumber:1336 and it was able to access the site via my iPhone. But some reason, through the app, it cannot connect to the server.
Any input or insight on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
