Xamarin & Asp.net web api. How to make a request to the local API in mob. application?

Question

ASP.NET

There is a Xamarin Application. When I try to make a request like localhost:1111/api/test , it says that access is denied.
I understood that it is looking for a path in the emulator's localhost, but it's not clear how to call api on the iis server. Abandoning the site is not an option.

Answer 1

api on iis server or whatever - it doesn't matter. It either works or it doesn't work. Follow the direct link from your browser. If there is a return, then the application is working and processing requests, if 403, then most likely you have configured iis incorrectly. You are using a port. And I immediately have a question - is this port generally available for requests from outside? And so on track - is your api hosted on iis under a strange port or on iis express? If the second - then pull yourself together and master the publication of the application in a full-fledged local iis.
