Using the simulator is working great for hitting my local IIS box running WebAPI for my datasources. However when i plug in my phone(android) and debug my login just spins (leaves the loading icon on screen forever).
I assume it is do to my WebAPI being local and the phone not seeing the local box. Is it possible to connect to your local machine for the datasource. I have tried "localhost", IP address, Computer Name and nothing seems to work. Any insight would be helpful.
NOTE: I am using http - so certs not the issue

To access your IIS hosted WebAPI application you must:
- Make sure your application works in simulator through "http://[YourMachineName]"
(This will assure you hosted everything right and it is accessible through the network stack) - Make sure your phone can access your machine (for example through wifi).
To test if this works - open your browser and try to execute a GET query against "http://[YourMachineName]"

OK I figured it out.
I was under the assumption that the traffic was flowing over the USB wired connection - which it is not. (Please correct me if I am wrong iliev).
So I just had to open up port 80 on my local machine in windows firewall (I am running Win7) and it now works. I ended up using the local IP address to connect (Example: 192.168.1.X for most of you on a home network).
