@D4v3m @roomba.friend A temporary solution is to create a new iOS simulator from x-code using iOS 17.5 SDK. Localhost is working fine the iOS versions below iOS 18.0.

No Solution yet, facing the same issue with latest iOS 18.1 Simulators as well

The same happening to me as well. Working fine on iOS 17.5 but not on iOS 18. Refer the below screen shot for iOS 18, whenever i try to hit the local in iOS 18 i gets the error popup saying - Webkit.Networking quit unexpectedly.
