Rails api on flutter

[Devashi Jain]

Hi,
I am new to flutter development.

I have created APIs using Ruby on rails using MS SQL Server as the database. My API work fine on the emulator but I am unable to run my APIs on a physical device (connected via usb).
I have tried using ipv4 address with the ruby port number 3000  but nothing works. Can someone please suggest something.
Also can someone guide as to how I host my rails API and deploy it to me MS SQL Server.

for emulator, I am using -10.0.2.2:3000 

Thank you for the help.

are you using release build on device? maybe you need to add network permission?

check adb logcat

Hi,
I was able to run my app on device. How do I host my flutter app on rails server?? 

Flutter is my front end, used with rails api or backend to interact with MS SQL Server.  Can someone please help on this. This is my first project. Do I need to host my rails api first and or do i deploy my flutter app to rails server. How to go about this?

You need to host your API on a server and use that server URL or IP(as tge case may be) as your API base URL in your flutter app.

Your API can't live on your local machine if you want it to serve a release app. You could host your API on some server like heroku, aws, digital ocean, linode.e.t.c

So I've hosted my apu using heroku. Is there anyway I can make my hosted heroku api connect to my local database?
