IIS Express access from Android emulator

I know similar questions have been asked many times, but I still can\'t get it working correctly. I\'d like to be able to access IIS Express on my host machine from my Visua

Answer 1

In your .NET project Go to project settings | Debug and replace "localhost" to your loopback adapter "127.0.0.1" in your "app url" string.

Worked for me. app url setting in .NET project/debug settings

Answer 2

You missed a few basic facts. 10.0.2.2 on Android emulator is translated to 127.0.0.1 on the host. Thus, change your bindings to

<binding protocol="http" bindingInformation="*:7265:127.0.0.1" />
<binding protocol="https" bindingInformation="*:44300:127.0.0.1" />

You can also remove host headers from bindings by following this blog post,
