Internet permission not working in oreo and pie

Question

I'm new here. I built a simple app that sends some data to server and as well receives the response.

The app is working fine on devices up to android N. But not working on O and P. Seems like the issue is with the internet permission. I have checked and the app is not sending any data to server while it is running on o and p. Please let me know if i need to seek any specific permission for internet access.

I have added this in manifest

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

Any help would be appreciated.

If your URL start's with http then you have to use it is used in Android Pie i.e API level 28

android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"

in your manifest inside application tag as an attribute
