Problems fetching data from a SSL based Server

Question

I had a Backend which wasn´t SSL based (http:.....). Everything worked just great. I am developing an Android and iOS App with React Native. I used superagent as my request client. So after i had changed my backend to SSL (https:...) i get the [TypeError: Network request failed] error on all GET/POST etc.

Now maybe i have to save the ssl - certificate or something like that, but didn´t find anything that worked. Maybe someone experienced the same/similar issue and could help me out?

Do you get a security warning when you visit the link via a browser? – Lucilelucilia

No, it works fine... – Enthrone

There's no strikethrough through the https when you visit it in your browser? You've also changed the GET/POST url to https? Just trying to narrow it down – Lucilelucilia

Yeah, i actually just changed my URL constant to https. After that i get this error. No idea why. Switching back to my http works perfect. – Enthrone

I tried to use any other request clients, which doesn´t work. Then i tried to acces any data with post/get etc. with POSTMAN and Advanced Rest Client which worked perfect too. So this means my backend works, but not with my React Native App... – Enthrone

Have you tried deleting the app from the simulator and rebuilding it? Maybe it's a caching error – Lucilelucilia

@Richard de Wit yes i tried, without success :( Maybe it is caused by the emulator? I use Genymotion, but actually i tried it with a real device which brings me the same issue. It has to be a React Native/JavaScript issue, or i am missing something which i have to onclude. Something like Internet permission in Android Manifest or something which is needed for SSL requests?! – Enthrone

You would only need to supply the SSL client cert if the cert your server uses isn't signed by a trusted certificate authority. If a browser considers the connection secure, your device will as well. – Nonprofessional
