Looks like the proxy perhaps was not setup correctly as you are still getting the CORS error. Setting up the proxy was a bit confusing in my opinion. Basically what you will be doing is calling your API using the localhost:8100/proxypath, then the proxy will redirect that to the actual API location.
As an example:
"proxies": [
{
"path": "/api",
"proxyUrl": "https://apiurl.azurewebsites.net/"
}],
Then in your application, you would call your api with localhost:8100/api.
Hopefully this helps.
