This is a great question. The answer is you can't really. If you want to connect to a locally hosted web site on your developer machine you will need to install a TLS certificate and reference the external site (external from your phone) using HTTPS.

Personally I don't do that. Instead I create a public web site using AWS. Since my sites are all static web pages, I host them in an S3 bucket configured to be a web site. Then I map an AWS CloudFront instance referencing the S3 bucket as the origin. The CloudFront instance will have a unique HTTPS origin you can reference from any device on the Internet. Of course don't give out the URL to anyone you don't want visiting your application :)
