I have an Xamarin app in Beta testing. In the production environment it connects to a WCF service with a poorly-written back-end. I am now writing a Core API for a new back-end (for the app and other new clients I will write). I would like to test my Web API using my Xamarin app in a development environment (VS 2017). My Core API works with Postman, but how do I host my API on my development box in such a way that my Xamarin app can consume it? In my research I have found info on consuming a web api from Xamarin which would allow me to test my Xamarin app on a deployed Web API. But I don't know how to consume the API that I wrote myself and is still in development.
