This error, [TypeError: Network request failed], in React Native usually occurs due to issues related to network connectivity, API misconfigurations, or incorrect use of fetch or axios in the code. Here's how to troubleshoot and fix it:
Check Internet Connectivity Ensure your device (or emulator) has a stable internet connection. Sometimes, this error appears when the network is unavailable or unstable.
Handle CORS Issues (For Web API Calls) If you are working with APIs, Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) issues might arise, especially when calling APIs from mobile or web apps. Make sure your backend server has the correct CORS settings in place. You can try allowing requests from all origins temporarily to verify the issue: enter image description here
Check Fetch or Axios Requests Make sure your fetch or axios requests are properly configured: enter image description here
Handle HTTPS and Certificates Ensure that the API you're calling uses HTTPS instead of HTTP. Insecure HTTP requests are often blocked in React Native for security reasons. You can update your API endpoint to use HTTPS if it's not already.
