App on iOS Simulator has no connection

Question

I'm running my app with react-native run-ios but when it's built it won't load any data because the network connection failed.

However, browsing the Internet through the simulator does work. So there is a connection, it's just not working with my apps.

I'm building on iPhone 6 simulator.

I have tried

• Simulator > reset
• Settings > Developer > Allow HTTP Services

but no luck so far.

This can happen if you are using HTTP connections. App Transport Security (iOS 9.0 and above) forces app to use HTTPS. The best you can do is start using HTTPS. Or disable it at least for now, because in January 1, 2017 Apple will reject your app, if you won't give them good explanation of why you are using non secure connections.
