Question

I am getting network error with Axios on all the APIs https:// too react-native 0.65. My app was working fine on all the devices before I updated it to 0.65. The previous version was 0.61.

Now only on Android M (6) I am getting a Network error.

buildscript {
    ext {
        buildToolsVersion = "30.0.2"
