webOS Simulator Not Connecting to Internet – API Calls Failing

hello team,

I’m currently working with the webOS Simulator, but I’m facing an issue with network connectivity. My system has a stable internet connection, and everything works fine outside the simulator. However, inside the simulator, my app’s API calls are failing as if there is no internet access.

It seems like the simulator is not able to access my network at all. Because of this, any external API requests from my app are not working.

I’m not sure if I’m missing any configuration or if there is a known limitation with the simulator.

Details:

  • Internet works fine on my host machine

  • API calls fail only inside the webOS Simulator

  • No clear error message indicating the exact cause (just network failure)

Questions:

  1. Does the webOS Simulator require any special network setup or permissions?

  2. Are there any proxy or firewall settings that could block the simulator?

  3. Is this a known limitation of the simulator environment?

Thank you

No, no separate settings are required. Which version of webOS TV Simulator and OS are you using? Please check if the Hosted Web App sample page is displayed. Thank you.
