How to run local host on Iphone using swift ?

I have a local ruby on rails server set up on -

http://localhost:3000/

I have added allow arbitrary loads in the info.plist

When I run the app on the simulator it works fine, but when I try to run it on the iPhone it doesn't. The app just crashes.

Looking at similar questions I found that I need to use the actual IP. I also turned the Internet sharing on from the preferences.

So I found out my local IP address which is - 192.168.0.8

So in Safari I am testing it out like this http://192.168.0.8:3000/

But it doesn't work!

How can I get this up and running?

It'd be easier if you Ngrok.

Just start your server, as usually and by default with port 3000, and then run ngrok as to start listening on such port:

./ngrok http 3000

This will give you a public IP which will be accessible for your devices.

Start your rails server like this:

rails server -b 0.0.0.0

Note that if you have a firewall on your computer you may need to open your firewall or run on another port, like port 80.

rails server -b 0.0.0.0 -p 80
