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

    Once plain text to localhost is allowed, the door would  be open to salvage http connectivity to LAN addresses by running a (custom) proxy app on the phone that has it's own network-security-config. Wasteful and cumbersome, but for sufficiently exotic but mission-critical use cases it might be good enough.

    agreed. i am very dissappointed Garmin (as a company) did not respond to the simple solution i proposed to fix all use cases.

    Yeah, for me and my phone this could work... but, I can't really expect the couple thousand of download's users to do this. Many of them could barely configure their WIFI. :)

    Mostly this utility was for me and I just posted it up because I'm nice and hoped others might find value. If Garmin wants to make things so painful, I just won't bother with their platform I suppose.
