Actually we will be improving more the Server Connect integration by using a global App Connect variable instead of hard coded url, so you can switch the development targets as you wish and the correct url will be used. Something that @mebeingken suggested a while ago.
We just need a way to manage such App Connect Global variables, appoint external API projects and have them running as well specially for development, probably in a separate main Wappler window so you can have one Wappler window for the mobile app and one for the server side API project.
