Hi there, We have been developing an application which has an entertainment space which when clicked on will open official websites of different applications such as netflix , amazon prime video, disney+hotstar etc. However, when we entered the url and live tested it , its showing an error which says it refused to connect. We checked if the url was correct and tried different times but with same error as result. Pls do help ---

You’ll need to post a screenshot of the blocks you’re using. A screenshot of the error would also be useful. ---

We used the official website url of amazon prime, Netflix and hotstar, we are sure the url is correct , is it that some url’s are blocked by the website from connecting or something else? ---

So should we use a web api or webviewer and test it in our android or ios device.I did get what CORS policy is but how would i add a webpage to our application because I am a total beginner at it and just beginning to learn it all. ---

Right now, you will not be able to use those websites in you deployed web app. It is a known limitation. ---
