network request failed when running expo app on android device

Question

I am using a localhost server for my app development on expo. I get this error on my android device. My server and api works fine as I have tested it on postman. It works well in the browser too. I am already using my ip address in the fetch function instead of localhost. The fetch also works fine on genymotion android emulator. The issue is only on my actual android device.

Thanks

Solved the issue finally. The issue was my firewall(ufw) which was not allowing access for public ports. sudo ufw allow from 192.xxx.x.xxx to any port 80 helped me as it allows acces to publicly open ports.

Thanks
