How to disable cors in chrome Mac

Question

I keep getting the below error when developing my ionic app. It's an authorization header not allowed by the backend.

Solutions tried:

• I use the chrome cors plugin here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/allow-control-allow-origi/nlfbmbojpeacfghkpbjhddihlkkiljbi?hl=en

• as well as started chrome disabling web security as below

open -a Google\ Chrome --args --disable-web-security --user-data-dir

• Set up a ionic proxy as in this post: https://stackoverflow.com/a/41863260/838355

but I still can't bypass cors check, the error persists. Need some help.

Answer 1

If you want to disable the CORS on chrome on mac you can run this command on your terminal/Item. it will open a new instance of chrome and all the tabs of this instance will have disabled the CORS. So you can run your application here for testing. I hope this you are doing just for testing your APIs and you know this is not a permanent fix. Also, remember this is disabling your web security. so I think this is a good option for testing your API when you are not worried about the security and you will have all the web security place when you are going to run your application on another environment like dev, and qa, and prod.

open -n -a /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --args --user-data-dir="/tmp/chrome_dev_test" --disable-web-security
