Can't test dropbox choser api via localhost

Currently trying to integrate dropbox into my weapp for an university project. But for some reason when clicking the implemented button to chose a file from dropbox i get this error window. And I can't add localhost as a choser domain for testing. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

    Hi ricardotimmr,

    If you're developing your integration locally with the Dropbox Chooser, Saver, or Embedder, running on localhost, you'll need to register localhost for your app. To do this, add localhost (without quotes) to the "Chooser / Saver / Embedder domains" field on the relevant app's info page in the App Console.

    Be sure to not include other parts of the URL, such as protocol ("http://") or path. It should be only the domain itself.
