Description

Some https URLs request fails on android 4 with no error while it's working on other androids (I've tested on some phones and it fails on 4.4.2 while successful on 5.0.2, 6.0.1, 9)

Reproducible Demo

Create a project and paste the following code into your App.js. Make sure you are running on a device with android 4.4.2. It seems working on android 5+.

import React, {Component} from 'react';
import {Text, View} from 'react-native';

export default class App extends Component {

    componentDidMount() {
        /* this request fails on android 4 while its working on android 5+*/
        fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1')
            .then(resp => resp.json())
            .then(json => alert(`fail -> ${JSON.stringify(json)}`))
            .catch(err => {
                console.log(err)
            })


        /* this one is successful even on android 4 */
        fetch('https://www.json-generator.com/api/json/get/clfvuKZzOq?indent=2')
            .then(resp => resp.json())
            .then(json => alert(`success -> ${JSON.stringify(json)}`))
    }

    render() {
        return (
            <View style={{flex: 1, justifyContent: 'center', alignItems: 'center'}}>
                <Text>https error on android 4</Text>
            </View>
        );
    }
}

I fixed this problem based on this issue and this gist. I don't know if this issue should remain open or not. It's clearly a problem. Anyway, Here's RN fix to it.
