  • @PardeepJain There must be a way to run a development angular app over https – Smokey Dawson Apr 24 '18 at 06:36
  • Your best option would be to run a server with a certificate. You can check [let's encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/) for that, and how to create a server. Then, you should be able to access your application over https. –  Apr 24 '18 at 06:40

Another option, if you don't have a certificate and want to use a self-signed for testing purposes, just to add the flag "start": "ng serve --ssl", to the package.json, it will generate one when serving the app.

Angular CLI: 7.3.1
Node: 8.11.3
OS: win32 x64
Angular: 7.2.5

Command:

npm start

Output:

> ng serve --ssl
