Accessing localhost Web API from an android emulator on Windows

 There is a preconfigured IP address, for the emulator to access. 

The IP Address is 10.0.2.2

ie: use something like https://10.0.2.2:5001/api/customers

You'll end up with something like...

private string baseurl = Device.RuntimePlatform == Device.Android ?

    "https://10.0.2.2:5001/api" :

    "https://localhost:5001/api" ;
