javascript - React-Native fetch, Network request failed. not using localhost

Question

I have an app, which im using fetch to authenticate user. it was working till few days ago and i haven't change anything. just upgraded from react 0.27 to 0.28, not fetch is not working.

i have searched for almost 2 days and i have read almost all questions in stackoverflow. most of users trying to fetch something from localhost, and when they change it to actual ip address , they get it to work. but im not fetching anything from localhost, also mine code used to be working.

here is my code :

fetch('http://somesite.com/app/connect', {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: {
        'Accept': 'application/json',
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'language':'en-US',
        'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + access_token,
      },
      body: JSON.stringify({
        uid: uid,
        refresh_token: refresh_token,
        token: access_token,
        device: device_id,
        device_name: device_name,
      })
    })
.then((response) => response.json())
.then((responseData) => {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(responseData.body))
})
.catch((err)=> {
  console.log('Some errors occured');
  console.log(err);
})
.done();

You should check out this link: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/8118

Looks like the issue emerged in React Native 0.28. Solution is to "Allow Arbitrary Loads" in the info.plist file found in the ios>build folder that React creates.

If you open the entire ios folder in xcode, then open this info.plist file you can create a new key to Allow Arbitrary Loads and it should fix your issue.
