React Native fetch() Network Request Failed
fetch-api, javascript, react-native
Solution
The problem here is that iOS does not allow HTTP requests by default, only HTTPS. If you want to enable HTTP requests add this to your `info.plist`:
<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
<key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
<true/>
</dict>
Problem
When I create a brand new project using `react-native init` (RN version 0.29.1) and put a fetch in the render method to the public facebook demo movie API, it throws a `Network Request Failed`. There is a very useless stack trace and I can't debug network requests in the chrome console. Here is the fetch I'm sending: ``` fetch('http://facebook.github.io/react-native/movies.json') .then((response) => response.json()) .then((responseJson) => { return responseJson.movies; }) .catch((error) => { console.error(error); }); ```
