Description

NetInfo.getConnectionInfo() & NetInfo.isConnected.fetch() fail to resolve or reject

Reproducible Demo

Able to reproduce this in the simplest of scenarios running on an iOS simulator in debug js mode (android untested)
NetInfo.getConnectionInfo().then(console.log).catch(console.log) <- neither log occurs

We have similar issue
#21862

Seem's this is working in 0.57.4 patch.

Edit: seems I was wrong... worked a few times but not consistently. Continues to fail in 0.57.5

I'm experiencing the same issue in 0.57.7 -NetInfo.isConnected.fetch() only very occasionally resolves.

I've just had to downgrade to 0.56 to fix.

Experiencing similar issues with NetInfo.isConnected.addEventListener in 0.57.8.

[juanfer0002]

Just to add. This is a problem that only occurs in iOS, it's working fine in Android.

A snippet like this would never print 'After isConnected':

static async checkConnection() {
    console.log('Before isConnected');
    let isConnected = await NetInfo.isConnected.fetch();
    console.log('After isConnected', isConnected);
}

Heads up: we moved react-native-netinfo into its own repository, which should allow for making changes and fixes much faster. Please continue the discussion about this issue there: react-native-netinfo/react-native-netinfo#9

Just a note to say that it looks like the cause of this issue is the same as #21862, which is now being tracked at react-native-netinfo/react-native-netinfo#10.

Please let me know if they are not the same root cause by opening an issue with an updated reproducible demo on the new community repo.
