Troubleshooting

  • No native client available / silent fallback

    • On first run or in dev, JS may fall back to the built-in fetch when native isn’t available yet. Rebuild the app after installing dependencies.

  • Prefetch error: "missing prefetchKey"

    • Provide headers: { prefetchKey: '...' } or init.prefetchKey when calling prefetch() and when consuming via fetch().

  • Cronet provider details

    • The library logs available Cronet providers and prefers the "Native" provider. Check Android logs for provider name/version during init.

  • Streaming / cancellation

    • Both are supported. Pass { stream: true } to get a ReadableStream body, and use AbortController to cancel. For request timeouts, pair an AbortController with a timer.

  • WebSockets

    • Supported via the companion package react-native-nitro-websockets (install react-native-nitro-text-decoder alongside it).
