   Just for context, Android emulators are full virtual machines with their own virtual network stack. Therefore `localhost` will resolve to itself, the virtual machine, rather than the host machine. Physical devices will work the same way.
   
   Additionally, if you're using schemes via `<preference name="hostname" value="localhost" />` then the webview will (in simple terms) intercept `http://localhost` or (`https://localhost` if `scheme` is set to `https`) and remap urls to load from the local file system. It somewhat behaves like a virtual webserver that only the process itself can have access to.
   
   That is why changing the url to use a private IP `https://10.0.0.2` works. On mac/linux, you can look up your private ip using the `ifconfig` command, most home networks uses a `192.168.x.x` ip scheme
