Pretty cool! I tested this on Android and other than having to disable DNS rebinding protection in my router, this worked fine. I don't have an iOS device to test, sadly.

It looks like there is no step 3 above. Maybe we could just use the same language as in the iOS section?

| In Element X's developer settings, set the Element Call URL to the nip.io url (replace . with - in the IP address): |
| - No need to regenerate certificates when your laptop's IP changes | ||
| - Works from any device without DNS configuration | ||
| - iOS/Android treat it as a proper domain name, not an IP address | ||
| - One-time certificate setup works for all future IP addresses |

Modify a bit the current setup to allow testing the local dev EC on a physical mobile device without having to create
a PR and wait for netlify.
Main changes
host: trueto allow vite to accept external request (coming from physical device)nip.io(service that automatically resolves domain names to IP addresses embedded within them.) This allow a very easy access for mobile apps without specific config.🚨 IMPORTANT This PR has generated new certificates, so you will need to install them on your system again.
