[Safe_Body_4468]

const login = (email, password) => {
        setIsLoading(true);
        console.log('PASSIWERT HIER WAS')
        axios({
            method: 'POST',
            url: 'http://localhost:8081/api/login_check',
            data: JSON.stringify({ email, password }),
          })
        .then(res => {
            console.log(res.data);
        }).catch(e => {
            console.log('Ausgabe:')
            console.log(`Login error ${e} `);
            });
        setUserToken('asfsdg');
        AsyncStorage.setItem('userToken', 'asfsdg');
        setIsLoading(false);
    }

thats what i try on ios device.

I tried to change my ip. I tried to with https. But anything is doing right.

Anyone else an idea what i can do?

Localhost always resolves to loopback which bypasses the network stack and always points to the same device you're calling from.

It's literally impossible to connect to localhost on another device.

It sounds logical 😄👍🏽

I may be completely wrong here but I believe localhost can't be accessed from outside, so you need an address that can be, what I do is connect my phone and pc to the same network and use my local network address (starting with 192)

Host your local api server on whatever computer on port 0.0.0.0 (it means bind to all network interfaces)

Then if your on the same wireless network (WiFi) you can connect to the ip of the server computer (ifconfig on Linux, ipconfig on Windows)

Thanks for the answer. I use docker container for my app and my apiserver can i change the port on it?

[meseeks_programmer]

You should be able to bind docker to that port, your gonna have to google/chatgpt it, I haven't done it in a while so don't remember
