Flutter error: Unhandled Exception: HandshakeException: Handshake error in client - flutter

Question

I'm trying to test my flutter app locally, connecting to my API locally. I have that application running on localhost:5000, and this is the code of a simple login form I've created.
import 'dart:convert';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;
import 'groups.dart';
import 'signup.dart';
class Token {
final String userToken;
Token({this.userToken});
factory Token.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) {
print(json);
return Token(
userToken: json['title'],
);
}
}
class Login extends StatefulWidget {
Login({Key key}) : super(key: key);
#override
LoginState createState() => LoginState();
}
class LoginState extends State<Login> {
final GlobalKey<FormState> _formKey = GlobalKey<FormState>();
var userData = {};
void updateField(String value, String field) {
setState(() {
userData = {
...userData,
'$field': value,
};
});
}
Future<http.Response> sendLogin(user) {
final response = http.post(
Uri.parse('https://10.0.2.2:5000/api/User/Login'),
headers: <String, String>{
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
body: jsonEncode(user),
);
print(response);
return response;
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Material(
child: Column(children: <Widget>[
Form(
key: _formKey,
child: Column(
crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
children: <Widget>[
TextFormField(), // these 2 form fields are commented out because they're already confirmed
TextFormField(), // to be working perfectly.
Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: 16.0),
child: ElevatedButton(
onPressed: () {
if (_formKey.currentState.validate()) {
sendLogin(userData);
Navigator.of(context).push(MaterialPageRoute(
builder: (context) => Groups(),
));
}
},
child: Text('Submit'),
),
),
],
),
),
ElevatedButton(), // removed inside because it's a link to another page
);
}
}
I've looked at this link here how to solve flutter CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED error while performing a POST request?
That link led me to include more in my main.dart file, at least for testing purposes, ending that like this
import 'dart:io';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:mobile_v2/Packages/user-check.dart';
void main() {
HttpOverrides.global = new MyHttpOverrides();
runApp(MyApp());
}
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
title: 'Gathering',
home: UserCheck(),
);
}
}
class MyHttpOverrides extends HttpOverrides{
#override
HttpClient createHttpClient(SecurityContext context){
return super.createHttpClient(context)
..badCertificateCallback = (X509Certificate cert, String host, int port)=> true;
}
}
After making these changes, I ran a flutter pub get, just to be safe, and yet I'm still having the same issues. I've looked through most of the answers in that post, and it still gives the same result. Any other possible answers would be appreciated. Thank you. (flutter doctor below as well)
