cordova-serve-android is pointing to wrong ip

See original GitHub issue

I have a few virtual network cards, and when serving from android, it’s getting the wrong IP, probably from the function address.ip()

When running cordova-serve-android, I see this line: updating cordova config.xml content to http://192.168.56.1:8080 while my actual IP is 10.0.0.4.

This is the output of ipconfig:

I tried configuring “host” in vue.config.js file:

devServer: {
    host: '10.0.0.4'
  }

This fixes npm run serve but is ignored in cordova-serve-android.

I’m happy to PR if you think this is a bug. Thanks.

ok, thank you for sharing the information… If I find some time, I’ll maybe investigate to start a prompt, if there are multiple IPs…

I’m running win 10 and changing the adapter priority to 1 solved the The connection to the server was unsuccesful (https://"192.168.56.1:8080") I can now run npm run cordova-serve-android with no issues.
