Question

Answer 1

Your computers are connected with internal network, so they can access your web API. While your mobile device generally connected by your data provider (network provider) so it can't directly access your web api. You can do following:

1. Set up your web api to access it through wifi (internal WiFi setup if you can). and then connect your mobile to that wifi and try to access.

Or

1. Publish/deploy your web API on public network and then access it from your mobile device.
