Garmin Connect Mobile 4.22 for Android includes the changes to allow HTTP on 127.0.0.1.

Connect version 4.20 broke local http access?

Getting several reports of functionality no longer working, it looks like Android Garmin connect app version 4.20 may have broken web request to local host via urls like http://127.0.0.1:17580/sgv.json?count=3

    Small update from a happy gimporter/gexporter user on a 1030plus: connecting to Wi-Fi breaks the localhost solution, which is entirely unsurprising: when requests aren't funneled through the cIQ/GCM BLE uplink, localhost will be the device itself.

    Disabling Wi-Fi through the menus is quite a hassle, but (at least on Edge devices up until 1030+?) there's a shortcut: just press play, start a dummy activity, and discard it when done with the transfer. 

    In a perfect world Garmin might want to declare some fantasy hostname (uplinkpeer.localhost or something like that) that would funnel through the BLE uplink to localhost of the connected GCM instance even when Wi-Fi is enabled, but for my current use case the activity workaround isn't too bad.
