Answer 1

I was getting this error due to my device being offline. Once I set my device to be online, the error did not persist.

Answer 2

1. Make sure you are online whether it is mobile or emulator
2. Make sure you have given internet permission in your app's android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml
