无法在 android release apk 上发送 http 请求（内置 react-native）

Question

I am sending an HTTP request with dummy username and password to test the my App.

On working with non-release variants ie react-native run-android , I am capable of sending http requests to the server and receive a token, thus, logging in. However, this is not true when I try it on the release version of the apk react-native run-android --variant=release

Note: It allow works on ios after making

<key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
        <true/>

Answer 1

You must add the following code to AndroidManifest.xml file to allow http requests.

android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"
