How to access WEB API using dev tunnels in MAUI? Click here to read the dev blog post! The alternatives without dev tunnels are, A and B(you dont need to do both!): A) By enabling UsesCleartextTraffic and running the API without HTTPS, type $mauiapihttp for more info. B) By overriding the native http handler to support localhost and self signed CA, type $mauiapihttps for more.

did u also configure your api to run over http? did u also configure it to bind to your ip 10.0.... or all ips with 0.0.0.0 the simplest route is just using dev tunnels then u dont need to do any of these.

with MAUI you can directly access 127.0.0.1, but there are some caveats to it so if u just use the local network ip u have a way easier time doing it if u dont want dev tunnels which is just running the api in http instead of https with the proper ip setup or just 0.0.0.0

I'll try it, thank you so much everyone! Dev Tunnel worked, Much appreciated. 🙏🏾

@.Abdulrahman glad it worked, and yes I meant that file, u would have to change the localhost to either ur local ip or 0.0.0.0 which means bind to all interfaces but with devtunnels u dont need to do any of that.
