Local plugin failure via localhost - plugin id not found

simplies way would be ngrok, after install, just type

ngrok http 5003
the output will look like

ngrok                                                                                                                                                                                                                     (Ctrl+C to quit)

Build better APIs with ngrok. Early access: ngrok.com/early-access

and the url in manifest should be changed to the ngrok url.

In the dev tool. put https://<some_random_id>.ngrok-free.app and things should work.

Cloudflared has better dns support but the setup is more complicated and I feel for local dev ngrok just works.
