Javascript Access to Meta API disallowed CORS policy

[eddhurst]

Meta endpoint (​https://api.wordpress.org/core/version-check/1.7/) disallowed when using Javascript due to error:

XMLHttpRequest cannot load ​https://api.wordpress.org/core/version-check/1.7/. No ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ header is present on the requested resource. Origin ‘​https://localhost:3000’ is therefore not allowed access.
