How to access Flask web server from mobile device? [duplicate]

Question

I have FLask web development server running on my Mac @ 127.0.0.1:5000/. Both my mac and my android device are connected to the same WLAN. I am unable to access my flask website by entering the IP address of my mac(192.168.8.103:5000) into the browser of my android device. But I can access the webpage from my apache server running on my Mac by entering 192.168.8.103 into the browser of my android device. Can I access the flask webserver from my mobile?

Answer 1

You need to run the app with your IPv4 address

app.run(debug=True, host= '192.168.8.103') assuming 192.168.8.103 is your IPv4 if not, replace it with your IPv4
