❔ Locally-hosting my site, cannot view on phone (MVC)

Hello, I just started an MVC site and have a starter project, and want to get it to appear on my phone; however, whenever I run the program, my phone can't find the site. The application URL is localhost:7117, my Wireless IPv4 address is 192.168.0.39, and both devices are on the same network, so I would expect 192.168.0.39:7117 to work, but it doesn't. I am almost positive that my network isn't the issue, because if I go to run an old Node.js project of mine on port 3000, my phone will connect. Is there anything I'm missing? Attached is an image of my launchSettings.json, in case that helps any.

Use something like Ngrok

That'd be easiest

if you're exposing on localhost it means that it cannot be reachable from somethign that is not on that same address

so anyclient (your phone) that don't have the ability to hit the same network ip "localhost"

which by definition is impossible

WIFI or not

listening on "localhost" make it completly inacessinble on the network

you need to listen on an IP that is one of the multiple IP or your computer

AND that IP must be reachable

so if you say you're device are all on the same LAN

check their respective IP and submask

check if the sub mask is compliant

and use that IP

you'd need to put that IP here FOR DEV ONLY PURPOSE

because that file will not be read outside local dev
