iPhone SDK: Access Localhost through iPad device possible? (while debugging)


While running/debugging my app with an iPad real device, I want to a establish an internet connection to the localhost:8080 on my computer but it does not work! Why does it work with the simulator but not with a real device?

I want to test my app in a real device but not on a simulator..but thats not possible if I don't have an internet connection..is there a workaround for this in Xcode settings or in the actual code?


Solution

  • The simulator is actually running on localhost, the device isn't. Set the ip to the actual internal network ip of your machine running the web server.
