❔ How can I connect to an API?

I recently created a Xamarin app for android that I want to connect to a server (this app will never be available to the public, its for learning purposes about servers & api only). But I have found that the connection times out a lot.

I've noticed that a WinForms app I created connects to my server no problem, the connection is fast and the information is loaded in less than a second.

Is it possible to make my Xamarin app connect to a WinForms app (I think that would make the Winforms app an api?) that connects to the server, grabs information the user requested, and send it back to the Xamarin app?
