To play around with LiveView on my phone I have configured my Endpoint like this:
config :my_app, MyAppWeb.Endpoint,
http: [port: 4000, ip: {0,0,0,0}]
The app works fine on my phone.
(though sometimes the LiveView is extremely slow until I restart my development machine)
When I open the Phoenix app in Chrome on my development machine, only “localhost” works fine.
Both of the following urls will load the app but not mount the LiveView:
[debug] LiveView session was misconfigured or the user token is outdated.
1) Ensure your session configuration in your endpoint is in a module attribute [...]
2) Change the `plug Plug.Session` to use said attribute [...]
3) Also pass the `@session_options` to your LiveView socket [...]
4) Define the CSRF meta tag inside the `<head>` tag in your layout [...]
5) Pass it forward in your app.js [...]
None of these five point apply.
Why is the LiveView not mounted?
On my phone I open this address which does mount the LiveView:
http://192.168.2.6:4000
The problem occurs only on the machine hosting the server (192.168.2.6).

This question is now months old, but I feel compelled to share in case it helps someone else.
Summary: Unlike the OP, my app seemed to work fine in the browser (only place I was testing) – but the debug error persisted. I got around it by adding the
:protect_from_forgeryplug to my browser pipeline. For context, I arrived at the error while trying to add LiveView to an existing phoenix project (which – at time of writing – has zero UI).The solution makes some sense in retrospect but is not at all documented (and was therefore a trial-and-error discovery). Ultimately, as I said before, I hope it helps someone.
