A collection of insights I’ve found helpful in my web development process.

Connect Localhost to iPhone with MAMP

1. Ensure both Macbook Pro and iPhone are on the same wireless network.
2. Verify Macbook Pro IP address, System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Status (ie. 10.61.0.125).
3. Open apache httpd.conf file, Applications > MAMP > conf > apache.
4. On httpd.conf file, Command+F Listen to verify the port assigned (ie. 8888).
5. Open iPhone browser (safari/chrome, etc.).
6. Type the IP address and port assignment, 10.61.0.125:8888.

Thanks to Stackoverflow

PS: This also holds true for ANDROID phones with their respective browsers. As long as you are in the same network.
