sendToURL - Security has blocked a cleartext HTTP

[npem]

I am testing some code which calls localhost server as:
*                        var url:String = "http://localhost:3001";;
                        var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
                        sendToURL(request);*

However, when this code (in the simulator) is run, I get an error:
/*App Transport Security has blocked a cleartext HTTP (http://) resource
load since it is insecure. Temporary exceptions can be configured via your
app's Info.plist file*.

I have entered (in the app.xml file):
        <key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
        <dict>
          
          <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
              <true/>
          <key>NSIncludesSubdomains</key>
          <true/>
        </dict>

Although Not quite sure where it needs to be, as I am not specifically using
an Apple device?

Code works fine via *navigateToURL* (but I don't want to open a Browser)

I am running:
  Flex 4.16.1
  Air 29
  and IntelliJ

Help would be appreciated

TIA, Phil
