Hello,
I have an appium server started by code. i’m trying to ping it via browser.

if i go to https://0.0.0.0:27721/wd/hub/status i get “ERR_ADDRESS_INVALID”
if i go to https://http://localhost:27721/wd/hub/status everything works fine

OS: Windows 10 latest update
Appium server version: 1.9.0
Platform: connecting via chrome

forgot to mention but this problem started when i tried to connect via .Net Core’s AndroidDriver to an emulator.
if i connect to 0.0.0.0/wd/hub i get errors, but if i connect to localhost:27721/wd/hub everything works fine

you should add it to host file

Thannk you for the prompt response. Unfortunately, this did not work. I’ve tried adding the following lines with no success:

127.0.0.1 0.0.0.0
0.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 (i know this isn’t the syntax but why not try )
having read up i found that 0.0.0.0 represents a non-routable path (see https://www.lifewire.com/four-zero-ip-address-818384). any suggestions on how to proceed?

@Shai_Glatshtein

when you on mac use: http://0.0.0.0:4723/wd/hub
when you are on windows use: http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub or http://localhost:4723/wd/hub

I have the same problem when using Ruby to connect. It’s ok if I use Java.
If you can not connect to the default host, you should change the default host 0.0.0.0 to another then try again.
