react native android release apk can't receive data from Internet

Question

I developed an app with React native and install debug apk in my device and all of the things are ok.

but when install release version in my device, it can't get data from API.

what's wrong?

Answer 1

In my case, I call api with non secure (http instead of https). So api work well for debug environment, but not work for release. You can add this line

android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"

to AndroidManifest.xml

like that

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

<application
      ...
      android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"
      ...
