This worked form me On visual Studio >= 2017, for dotnet core projects:

1- Edit applicationhost.config located inside .vs\config in your project and add bindings for 127.0.0.1 for http and https:

    ...
     
        ...
        
          
            
            
            
        
    
      ...

2- edit iisexpress launch settings in vs: from solution explorer under the api project tree

[your project] > properties > launchSettings.json:

"iisSettings": {
    ...
    "iisExpress": {
     **"applicationUrl": "https://127.0.0.1:44380",// make sure to use https**
      "sslPort": 44380
    }
  },

make sure to use https in "applicationUrl": "https://127.0.0.1:44380"

• you can replace the ports as you like
