Appwrite CLI on localhost (MacOS)

I'm trying to use the CLI with a localhost instance on Appwrite running in docker desktop on MacOS and I'm not able to log in via the CLI. When I run appwrite appwrite login --endpoint "http://app.localhost/v1" --verbose I get the login prompt but when I enter my admin details it throws an error:

TypeScript

    at Client.call (/usr/local/Cellar/appwrite/6.2.0/libexec/lib/node_modules/appwrite-cli/lib/client.js:192:13)
    at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:105:5)
    at async accountCreateEmailPasswordSession (/usr/local/Cellar/appwrite/6.2.0/libexec/lib/node_modules/appwrite-cli/lib/commands/account.js:1016:16)

  code: undefined,
  response: undefined```

I've googled and hunted through discord but can only find vague non-helpful references to the --endpoint flag and issues being resolved on cloud based self-hosted instances (Digital Ocean, AWS etc.).

Has anyone else here experienced or resolved this issue?

TL;DR

Developers trying to use Appwrite CLI on localhost (MacOS) might encounter login issues due to the lack of HTTPS on the endpoint. The fetch error appears when attempting to log in. To resolve this, use HTTPS instead of HTTP in the endpoint.

could be a problem with not having HTTPS
