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

    To be clear, the IPv4 (and IPv6) standards already have clear notions of which IP addresses are local/private/non-routable and which are not (as alluded to above). e.g. If your IP address is 192.168.0.1, then no router will ever pass traffic between you and another network. My understanding is that Apple chose to allow HTTP for all IP addresses, but they could've easily just decided to apply that policy to the non-routable IP addresses.
