You've set the domain correctly, but here are a few things to check:

  1. URL Format: Ensure the iframe URL is correct (e.g., http://localhost:3000 or http://127.0.0.1:3000).
  2. CORS: Make sure your server allows requests from localhost or the IP address 127.0.0.1.
  3. Cache: Try clearing your browser cache or use an incognito window.

If the issue persists, try deploying to a staging server to see if it works outside of localhost. Let me know if that helps!
