request superagent cors issue about taxiapp

[smhall05]

It turns out I needed to add the following line inside my router.post and router.get for bookings.js on the server:

res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "http://localhost:8081");

Any idea why you didn't have to add this at all and yet it still worked for you? This issue can be closed, but I am curious as to why. Thanks again for putting this series together.

The real issue had nothing to do with cors. I was still hitting the issue, the below explains that for Android I have to use the IP address of my machine since it is an emulator as opposed to iOS which is a simulator. Hope this helps someone else:

The thing is, that iOS is running in a simulator and Android is running in an emulator.
The localhost is pointing to the environment in which the code is running. The emulator emulates a real device while the simulator is only imitating the device.
Therefore the localhost on Android is pointing to the emulated Android device. And not to the machine on which your server is running.
The solution is to replace localhost with the IP address of your machine.

I changed localhost to my machine IP and it worked for me....
