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

    This does indeed not help for the home automation apps, but that does not mean we are out-of-options:

    The article also states that specific workarounds can be made in Android P:

    This change will apply to each every app that will be made available on Android P. Granted, there are some specific workarounds for apps or users that may require an HTTP connection. A specific declaration will need to be made in the app’s manifest if any HTTP connections are required. Users will be able to control this via Android P’s Network Security Configuration file. Is this something to look into?

    Or something else which would be better:: allow a self signed certificate for the 192.168.x.x networks?  a "no-check-certificate" and/or "private-key"  option to the webrequest, which can be used for specific use cases ?
