Unable to access application on pod on minikube - nginx

Question

I have created a deployment using below simple yaml file using
kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml
deployment.yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: my-deployment
labels:
tier: frontend
app: myapp
spec:
selector:
matchLabels:
app: myapp
replicas: 3
template:
metadata:
name: nginx-pod
labels:
app: myapp
spec:
containers:
- name: nginx-pod
image: nginx
and then created a service for it using below yaml file using
kubectl apply -f service.yaml
service.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: myapp-service
spec:
type: NodePort
ports:
- port: 89
targetPort: 89
nodePort: 30009
selector:
app: myapp
Now when i run
minikube service myapp-service
it gives me
$ minikube service myapp-service
|-----------|---------------|-------------|-------------------------|
| NAMESPACE | NAME | TARGET PORT | URL |
|-----------|---------------|-------------|-------------------------|
| default | myapp-service | 89 | http://172.17.0.2:30009 |
|-----------|---------------|-------------|-------------------------|

🎉 Opening service default/myapp-service in default browser...
❗ Because you are using a Docker driver on darwin, the terminal needs to be open to run it.
and when I try to access the given http://127.0.0.1:52289, I get "This site can’t be reached" error.
is there anything wrong in the yaml files? I am using
minikube version: v1.12.1
$ kubectl version

This is a community wiki answer aimed to sum up the info from the comments with additional details and explanations.
Guys in the comments are right. There is a flaw in your ports configuration. There are few thing that you need to know that would help you better understand this concept. We have several different port configurations for Kubernetes services:
Port: exposes the Kubernetes service on the specified port within the cluster. Other pods within the cluster can communicate with this server on the specified port.
TargetPort: is the port on which the service will send requests to, that your pod will be listening on. Your application in the container will need to be listening on this port also.
NodePort: exposes a service externally to the cluster by means of the target nodes IP address and the NodePort. NodePort is the default setting if the port field is not specified.
From your example above the myapp-service service will be exposed internally to cluster applications on port 89 and externally to the cluster on the node IP address on 30009. It will also forward requests to pods with the label “app: my-app” on port 89.
You can check the details of your service with:
kubectl describe service myapp-service
Adjust your targetPort: to 80 and it should be fine.
