To use this widget on Android 9+ devices, your app must be permitted to make an HTTP connection to http://localhost:XXXXX. Android 9 (API level 28) changed the default for [android:usesCleartextTraffic] from true to false, so you will need to configure your app’s android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml as follows:

     <application
        android:name="${applicationName}"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
-       android:label="example">
+       android:label="example"
+       android:usesCleartextTraffic="true">
        <activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"

This does not affect Android 8 and earlier. See [#7] for more information.
