How to create a local webserver in cordova android app to use a-frame

Question

I'm trying to use a-frame in my Cordova android app but when I try to access other local files or https websites I get an error telling me I can't work from file://:

HTML file is currently being served via the file:// protocol. Assets, textures, and models WILL NOT WORK due to cross-origin policy! Please use a local or hosted server

My question is: how can I use a local server in my Cordova app? or are there any alternatives?

Set a hostname to your app

 <preference name="hostname" value="com.myapp" />

So your content is served over https://com.myapp then you will load from https and not file:// anymore

Could you add more detail, like where to put the line of code, and how it works? – Favour Francis Oct 19 '22 at 13:36
in your config.xml – Eric Oct 19 '22 at 14:37
I have tried this but going to https: //com.myapp doesn't work. It tells me that the web page is not available – Favour Francis Oct 20 '22 at 10:37
