WebKit encountered an internal error (Running localhost web server on iOS Simular's Safari)

Running a web server on localhost is breaking on the iOS Simulator. It is also blocking me from testing my mobile application.

Full Log:

The same happening to me as well. Working fine on iOS 17.5 but not on iOS 18. Refer the below screen shot for iOS 18, whenever i try to hit the local in iOS 18 i gets the error popup saying - Webkit.Networking quit unexpectedly.

Localhost connections are completely erroring on the latest iOS version 18.0

Can someone please help?

Experiencing the same. Any solutions?

No Solution yet, facing the same issue with latest iOS 18.1 Simulators as well

I am having the same issue. I can't test my app.

@D4v3m @roomba.friend A temporary solution is to create a new iOS simulator from x-code using iOS 17.5 SDK. Localhost is working fine the iOS versions below iOS 18.0.

Hi Support team,

There is any update about it this?

In iOS simulator with iOS 18.0,18.1, 18.2 is not working. You have any estimation to fix it? In iOS 17.5 is working perfectly.

Thanks in advance Regards
