You need to allow Appium a no proxy connection to localhost to communicate with the device. To do that, simply add
no_proxy=localhost environment variable like this:Windows
Mac / Linux
set no_proxy=localhostexport no_proxy=localhostYou can add it for the CLI session, or at the system level from the environment variables page on Windows/Mac.
