Flutter Http request not being executed on iOS

Question

This is the first request my app executes in order to log in the user. On android, every request works fine but, for some reason, on iOS they don't seem to be executed. I already have set up the developer options on the simulator to allow HTTP Services. I have also tested the code on a physical iPad, and it won't execute the request.

During testing i am not using any timeout for this and if I leave the code running for a while once I have triggered the request, i get this log (it might not be relevant for this, but since i don't know what it is, I will attach it too):

[C1.1 958047F2-81ED-4A34-AEDE-A23D2CD6B49F 172.20.129.134:51780<->216.58.211.42:443]
Connected Path: satisfied (Path is satisfied), interface: en0
Duration: 240.322s, DNS @0.002s took 0.008s, TCP @0.017s took 0.014s, TLS took 0.287s
bytes in/out: 4769/1077, packets in/out: 9/10, rtt: 0.016s, retransmitted packets: 1, out-of-order packets: 0

Here's the code:

Future<LoginResponse> login(String login, String password, AppLocalizations locale) async {

    final response = await http.post(_url, body: {
      "module": _moduleLogin,
      "user": login,
      "pass": password,
      "lang": locale.localeName
    });

    try{
      EventManager manager = EventManager.getInstance();
      manager.clearAllEvents();
    }catch(e){
      print(e);
    }

    if (response.statusCode == 200) {
      return LoginResponse.fromJson(jsonDecode(response.body));
    } else {
      throw Exception('Failed to connect to webservice');
    }}

At this point I don't know what can be causing this problem. I am using the latest version of the http package.

Here's my flutter doctor output:

Answer 1

Figured out a solution even though I don't know why does it work.

I replaced the http package with the dio package and it worked fine on both platforms.
