I am testing my web app using a phone connected to my LAN and it has IP Address of 192.168.1.23.
So I am trying to add the aforementioned IP Address in the hostname field but it's saying Please enter a valid hostname
Please help
TL;DR
Developers cannot set a local IP in the Hostname field in Appwrite. It only allows http web addresses or localhost. To test the web app using a phone connected to LAN with an IP Address like 192.168.1.23, consider using ngrok or Cloudflare Tunnels proxy instead.

The hostname only allows http web addresses or localhost. If you can access localhost, use that or use something like an ngrox or cf tunnels proxy.
